I have a pi 4 with a 64gb sd card
Try a smaller card, 8 or 16GB.

However, in my Windows 10 Operating System, it shows up with no problem.
The external HDD may not have been properly ejected/unmounted in Windows.
Make sure it's not in suspended or hibernation mode.
Also have Windows check for any disk errors before reconnecting to the RPi4.
Same problem however occurs in my PopOS!
Perhaps Linux is a bit allergic to LaCie disk controllers... It's not uncommon, but it hardly happens anymore these days. -
"Found a bug"... Please use a more to-the-point and appropriate title next time.

I hope you have more luck with the more powerful card! I will keep you posted when I got it working properly
We'll see in a week or two as I placed the order in the land of the big long wall.
I ordered a AC 9560 wifi kit which *should* work with the J5005, it being a CNVI card and all.
The J5005 is to do Ubuntu 20.04 where Bluetooth would come in handy too, testing LibreELEC is optional. -
There is also the option of a hardware failure.
Try a 60 sec timeout, some routers/DHCP servers are a little slow.

It keeps the original name from the master card no matter what I try
There are 2 locations where to name your device.
- In the Kodi GUI in "Settings/Services/General/Device name"
- In the LibreELEC Settings add-on
You may have overlooked one of them.

Must be a LibreELEC thing, as I get no crashes on an Ubuntu+Kodi setup.
Be it a kodi.log or a kodi.old.log, we want it.
Please provide a full debug log.How to post a log (wiki)1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging2. Restart Kodi3. Replicate the problem4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)
use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link -
Why not use Linux's default EXT4 disk format on the SSD?
Normally any disk format should be okay, so I'm thinking more on what the video file format is when there is buffering.
Enable debugging, restart Kodi, and provide the log file after reproducing the error(s).

You can try Windows XP and XBMC (now KODi) V12 aka Frodo and older Versions.
It's better to promote the 20-year-old Compaq Presario 14Xl250 laptop to being the official doorstop or bookend for the Gurglin family.
You don't want to deal with all the shortcomings of old software anymore.

Are you saying that this machine does not have a hardware decoder to decode these streams? Mate, I my self is an engineer and I have built hardware decoders on FPGA's even.
Mm.. Here we go. Intel GM965 is about 11-12 years old. That is a lifetime in computer terms. All your video processing will be done by the CPU as the GPU has no modern hw acceleration of any kind, hence the "ff-h264(SW)" indicator in your Kodi OSD. As an "engineer" you should be open to that fact. By the way, it's "I myself AM an engineer".
The problem seem to me that the linux during that time did not support its hardware decoder as no one was interested in writing a driver for that. Admit that its a problem with Linux rather than the machine. This machine can well decode an HD streams
I still have a Intel laptop with GM965 graphics (Intel Core2 Duo CPU T5470) myself, that currently runs Ubuntu Linux 16.04. It could be using a different driver setup than LibreELEC, but It can do 720p h.265/hevc videos comfortably (although the fan protests loudly these days). However, 1080p hevc will become a problem quickly all because again, as the video hardware was not designed for it.
H264 should be a much less problem for the laptop in your case. Where things go wrong I don't know. Judging from the shitload of "DEBUG: ffmpeg[7F74437FF700]:" entries in your log file, I'd say something is not correct with that video file. Perhaps it was poorly remuxed. Or perhaps LibreELEC doesn't like the DTS stream in the video, as it is also a decoding process. I'm not a video guru, but the kodi log file is not happy.And I have no reason to buy used RPI's I have enough money to buy them if I want. Pathetic attitude you have there.
Depending on the use case, there is no reason to buy new a RPi4 when a RPi3 can do the job perfectly as well. Software for the RPi3 has been developed over many years now, while the RPi4 still has some rough edges.
I'm glad that money for you is not an issue, but it isn't always the deciding factor. There are plenty of people out there wanting to buy "the best possible Kodi setup ever". There is no such thing, as there is always something that is hampering that "total experience". Be it hardware or the software (Kodi, drivers, whatever). For now, HDR support is one of those hurdles.
We see threads on the forums (LibreELEC and Kodi) where money can be an issue. We also don't have a crystal ball here to see what the living standard or what the technical know-how level of people on the forum is. But people being instantly offended by simply misreading a forum reply and yelling that they are "an engineer" themselves is enough for me to wish you luck with all your Kodi problems, I'll go about my own business from here on.

Your record is on repeat.
Which part of the Wiki has your interest?
-
Its graphics chipset is GM965/GL960
Yes I agree that HW is old, but at the same time what I am trying to play is just HD content and decoding a HD stream should not be a a big issue.
So which part of "old hardware" is still unclear to you? LibreELEC has no magic wand to make your prehistoric computer suddenly run twice as fast.
If you want better video handling, get your wallet out and buy something more contemporary. A Raspberry Pi 4 will run circles around your 7-8 yr old machine. You can probably pick up 2nd hand RPi3B+ now for half the money.
-
Switch from auto updates to manual updates. Options for custom channels should appear.
-
LibreELEC requires a certain minimum level of OpenGL graphics.
I doubt very much that a 20-year old computer will be able to pull that off.
-
You have to run the tool as Administrator on Windows.
By now, Raspberry Pi now has its own SD writer software.
And yes, replying to a 3-year old topic is not the best option.

Keep your titles short and to the point, please. You can put all the necessary text into your post section.

Two things...
1) A title of a forum thread is not the place for a whole adventure story.
2) If you're planning to use any video piracy build or add-on onto your Kodi setup, then our support will be halted immediately.
Please look up (again) the forum rules that you have accepted during the registration.

Thank you all so much for doing what you do!!
Yeah incredibly unhelpful now, thanks, since I already figured it out, on my own, without help from any post.
Not really necessary, that latter remark. Is it?
