  • cant mount cifs share

    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...

  • cant mount cifs share

    So if you add it as a source in file manager you can access //192.168.178.3/TVrecordings

    Not sure if I can help you anymore then sorry

    Basically if you can see a folder from Libreelec on your network...you can mount it..

    Otherwise someone more technical might help you..

    I never managed to mount more the 1 source to the same folder...that's when I got errors similar to yours..

  • cant mount cifs share

    Did you try "systemctl enable storage-recordings.mount"

    Assuming you r doing it this way

    [Unit]

    Description=cifs mount script

    Requires=network-online.service

    After=network-online.service

    Before=kodi.service

    [Mount]

    What=//192.168.178.3/TVrecordings

    Where=/storage/recordings

    Options=username=tv,password=xxx,rw

    Type=cifs

    [Install]

    WantedBy=multi-user.target


    Save it in "system.d" as "storage-recordings.mount"

    Create a folder in storage name it "recordings"

    enable with "systemctl enable storage-recordings.mount"

  • SMB Share Passwords

    To access the windows shares you need to have a password protected user account on windows...you can create a second account if you hate entering passwords to access windows like I do...to set it up force smb1 in Kodi settings > services > smb client...then when done go back to none.. in For the router shared drive I have no idea to be honest but you may have few settings to play with on the router's side...username and password may easily be the same ones you use to login your router setting...probably admin for both

    Altough needing some setup this new smb update made a massive change to how libreelec handles shares...I used to only see very few of the files I have on shared hdds if any...now it's working perfectly...

  • Mount error on reboot

    This happened also to me while I was trying to boot from a hdd connected to my Rpi2..I have a partition named "STORAGE" formatted to ext4....cmd line is "boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=LABEL=STORAGE quiet"

    Got a similar error cannot find storage and sh: can't access tty: job control turned off

    Solved...problem was I had the old sd storage still mounted in samba.config...so ended up with a conflict...renamed the new storage partition from storage to storagehdd...changed cmdline and all booted fine to new location

  • Change SMB Permissions on library items without rescanning to library

    If you want kodi to create the passwords.xml on it's own go to settings---services---smb settings and change samba setting from "none" to "smb1"

    Restart...Then go to file manager add source and browse to any location of the new user account you created..give it a name and save...Go back to smb settings on kodi and change back to none and restart again...now go back to file manager and try to access your new source...kodi will ask for username and password....input them and tick "save for this path"...that's it...now you should have the passwords.xml in userdata

  • Cannot access Libreelec Nuc via Windows 10

    Back for some more help...

    Ok so now I managed to access Libreelec from PC and Vice versa with SMB set to none working still but I m noticing a small hickup when trying to access my PC from Libreelec while PC is sleeping..

    I have wakeonlan enabled...Pc network set to wakeup PC,,wakeonlan.xml on libreelec set but it's only working when I change the source address and wakeonlan.xml to IP instead of host name..

    I understand that there is hosts.config to map ip address to host but not sure how to edit this

    I tryed adding these lines to hosts.config first as shown below ,and then with arrows but none seemed to work...

    try 1: 192.168.0.9 MARIO-DESKTOP

    try 2: <192.168.0.9> <MARIO-DESKTOP>

  • Cannot access Libreelec Nuc via Windows 10

    Quote from milhouse

    Read the 8.1.0 announcement, in particular the section "!!! SAMBA UPDATE – IMPORTANT !!!" (third bullet point).

    Not if you're forcing SMB1.

    If you haven't already setup your smb:// sources then you'll need to enable SMB1 on your server (and force Kodi to make only SMB1 connections), then set up your sources in Kodi using network browsing (if available). If network browsing no longer works (which is possible, depending on your server, Samba4 in LibreELEC, and the way the wind is blowing), then you'll just have to add network locations manually in Kodi (leave the username/password blank - add this when prompted on first access, saved in passwords.xml), then add your sources.

    Once your sources are all configured, disable SMB1 on your server, configure SMB in Kodi as "None" (ie. auto-negotiate, which should mean SMB3 or maybe SMB2, depending on your server).


    Thanks...very clear explanation and everything working as it should...

    In short....add new sources with force SMB 1..."save password for this path" ticked and after that back to force smb to "None" and source is still coming up
