 I can confirm the buffering issue with .m2ts and .ts files. The issue occur during the playback over LAN (SMB). Local playback seem to be ok. The same videos play fine if remuxed to mkv.  

Is this a recent problem in these builds? Identifying the first build with the problem would be useful.      

I identified the build that introduced this issue - #0912 

 I created a trac ticket and this is a reply from FernetMenta:
"I don't think that those linked changes are directly related to the issue. The root cause is bad performing SMB due to incorrectly set chunk size. Unlike mkv ts files have no index and demuxer has to read a lot of data at the beginning. master branch is missing: ​https://github.com/FernetMenta/kodi-agile/commit/51fd52a7ca8134f4699fc0d6ebc48db40a081170#diff-6bcbc5e72cb6f869342ecae26c6a45ff"

So I built with the above change to SMBFile.h and the issue is gone.

ok, fixed the ssh key problem, so I can log in with that now (had copied a wrong key). Doesn't fix the password issue, but good enough for me now. And if no one else is having the issue it must be something on my side with the password.

Thanks, that's good that there is a possible solution - any idea if fernet intends to push that fix to master?

Just out of interest which SMB protocol are you having problems with - have you tried SMB2 or SMB3 which should perform better (in theory) than SMB1.

I'm not sure. This is the trac ticket.

I use SMB3 and connect to a Windows 10 (and sometimes Linux Mint 18.2) PC.

I don't know why you are unable to login with the default libreelec password - have you tested Kodi 18 previously and changed the password? If you have changed the password then deleting /storage/.cache/shadow will restore the default password for root.

[Catscrash]

mh, I don't think so, but it helped anyway, thanks! Maybe I did do some test some time ago. Anyway it's solved :-)

Kodi crashes with all blurays if during the playback I press "Stop". It only crashes when the playback is started via the original on-disc menu ("Show Blu-ray menu"...).

Crashlog

Update: fixed

[popcornmix]

So I built with the above change to SMBFile.h and the issue is gone. 

Good to know. Can you check whether a smaller value is also as good?
I think we had some issues with slow to open blurays when making the chunksize large. A compromise value would be useful to know about.

I think we had some issues with slow to open blurays when making the chunksize large. A compromise value would be useful to know about. 

Built 5 images with 1024*512, 512*256, 256*128, 128*64 and 64*32 values. Tested with a bunch of .ts files and blu-rays.
1024*512, 512*256, 256*128 seem ok, didn't notice any issues. Didn't notice any difference compared to 2048*1024.
128*64 and 64*32 = unplayable .ts files.

Thanks. I'll include the 2048*1024 chunksize from tonight and see if any issues are reported.
We can try switching down to 256*128 if any problems are reported.

Hi, I have a question
it´s possible to change the hostname over ssh?
I change the hostname in /etc/hosts but after reboot it's back the old hostname
Must the change occour in GUI?

Change the hostname element in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.libreelec.settings/oe_settings.xml. This settings file is loaded by the LibreELEC Settings add-on when Kodi starts and will eventually set the hostname.
