You may think it's silly, but we care about the security of our users: Stop using SMB1 | Storage at Microsoft

I know it's more secure but not everyone knows what these settings are for and how to find them...My main issue is that with default settings you can't see 2 LE machines on same network...1 is a Rpi2 and the other HP laptop...So from the laptop couldnt see the Rpi with default settings and mounts failed with min smb2 setting..I think it's a good idea if smb settings are in just 1 place...thanks for your hard work and help chewitt

Edit:the smb setting on kodi services didn't help...it was the new setting in the LE addon that enabled the network between my machines

This samba thing is getting bit complicated...after updating to 8.1.1 on my LE plex server (old Laptop)couldn't access anymore my media from Plex...the network mounts where all failing on boot...tought what's going on...no ideas so went to factory reset everything..couldn't access my media on network on a RPI server again running LE...couldn't access anything even with forcing SMB 1...

Well to my surprise there is a new setting...this time it's in the LE addon which done the miracle...had to set minimum to smb 1 and max to smb 3 for all mounts to work again...too late now as I had to start from scratch..I think it's a bit silly(sorry ;)) to set minimum to Smb2 and not 1 by deafault as it's causing unnecessary hassle...as with the default setting you can't see another LE Rpi on network acting as media server with folders mounted on another LE Plex server

samba.conf on LE 8 is not compatable with LE 8.1...so before you update just delete it or rename it and edit the new one...

I started using my RPI3 LE device with a different TV recently (some LG WebOS model), around the same time as the update to 8.1.0, and noticed quickly that after idling for a while LE seemed to disable its HDMI output. The only way to restore it, similar to others I believe in this thread, was either a full reboot or swapping the HDMI cable to a different input port on the TV.

I copied vpeter's build from 9 hours ago into .update, rebooted, and from there on haven't noticed this issue again, despite indeed letting the device idle for 30m-1h a few times.

This entire CEC thing is totally new to me (my parents tend to be years behind technologically, and I myself exclusively use computers for media), so frankly I was surprised to see that the TV remote can (admittedly in a very limited capacity) send commands back across the HDMI cable.

I'll report back if I notice anything strange, or if anyone wants me to give any more info.

Nice to hear some input about vpeter builds...tought it was only me and him still having this issue!

CEC was not bumped. Should I build "my" version again?

Well would be nice when you have time...surprised not many people are showing this issue anymore on this thread...

Is it worth trying latest beta or is CEC still the same?Seen something about kernel update for RPI...

nothing changed, when it's time to enter credentials libreelec for unkown reason doesn't accept them and keep on asking for them

Found something here looks similar to your issue...

We r getting somewhere...leave it disabled for now...and add source of hdd from kodi file manager as usual with force SMB1 in kodi settings...make sure you can see the shared folders of your hdd...when done enable the require username and password on router and change SMB1 to "None" in kodi LE and restart...

On the router hdd sharing settings can you disable require username and password and allow anonymous full access?If yes force SMB1 in LE settings and try again...?

Ok do you have a kodi 17.4 installed on the windows 10 machine?can you add source your router hdd from kodi windows and match those xmls?

Quote from chrispe

where are these files?

ok, i found them

Can you see your router hostname in the passwords.xml or thr router ip address?

Raspi3 don't think you can play4k....1080 the most

Quote from chrispe

i tried again but still no luck (smbv1 -> reboot). Windows shares work fine but asus dsl-ac68u always asks for username/password

Did you try adding source manually in sources.xml with Ip address?Is the passwords.xml being created when you enter password for router?Try to have a look in userdata for passwords.xml...

If you don't find it add it manually like this passwords.xml.txt

Being able to watch my slingbox on Chrome really sealed the deal for me, and it runs so damn smoothly too. Everyone should be running this build!

How do you run slingbox on libreelec?what hardware are you using?

Well just tryed to mount an hdd to libreelec from a windows 10pc with LE 8.1.0...smb set to None and it's working fine...

I m still not sure if you can browse from filemanager to your network share?

Or maybe show us the steps you r taking to mount ...

If you change samba version to 1 and restart in 8.1.0 it should work exactly the same as 8.0.2..

Not sure what OS is your folder on?Is it on your Mac or a windows PC?

As you are on LE 8.0.2...If it is a windows PC go to Control Panel...Programs...Turn Windows Features On Or Off and make sure SMB1 is installed...Give permissions to the folder to Everyone as RW..go to Local Policies, Security Options and scroll down to “Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users”. Set this to “Enabled”.Now see if you can browse to your folder from LE trough File manager in Kodi..

If you r on Mac see here..

At least you ll know if it is a network issue between your Odroid and Server..

Also you don't have to add vers=2.0 if on 8.0.2...
