Hi!
Yesterday, my RPI in bedroom just stopped working.

I bought a new one and installed LibreElec. Everything seems to be fine.

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server which share all files. And library is in MySQL database, Before I could pause a movie in livingroom and continue watching in bedroom.

Also have a Nvidia Shield in livingroom. From there I can see all files and play them as well. So this is still working fine.

In my bedroom RPI, I can just see the files. Not playing them. If I go to Videos -> files and browse my server, I can play them.
(If I am using Browse, I cant use DNS name. I must use IP. If I try to browse smb->Workgroup->Server it says "Invalid argument".

I also have a advancedsettings.xml that says: (with changed user and password)
<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.1.68</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
</videodatabase>
</advancedsettings>

Is there a chance someone knows what I'm doing wrong?

Paste your /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml from the RPi.

Before I used my servers name. Now I cant add server with name, just IP.


sources.xml

The source you are accessing (smb://AHUSSERVERN/Media2/Filmer2) is not in your sources.xml, so Kodi won't access it (basic security measure).

You have in your sources.xml "smb://192.168.1.68/Filmer2/", not sure if this is meant to be the same share but the path is different as is the host.

You need to do one of the following:
1) rescrape your library using the IP address
2) Use SQL to replace all occurrences of "smb://AHUSSERVERN/" with eg. "smb://192.168.1.68/"
3) Use path substitution

I would only recommend #1 as #2 is fraught with issues, and #3 is just a nasty hack.

However with #1 you will lose your watched statuses - if you want to backup and restore your watched statuses (and resume points) you can use the tool in my signature:

Code:

texturecache.py watched movies backup watched_movies.dat
texturecache.py watched tvshows backup watched_tvshows.dat
...
<drop video database and re-scan your video library>
...
texturecache.py watched movies restore watched_movies.dat
texturecache.py watched tvshows restore watched_tvshows.dat

The problem is using name of server. My old Rpi handled it fine. (I did use OSMC on that one) This time i Tried Libreelec.
I cant access my server using name. I have to use IP address. And I dont want to rescrape, to much information will get lost.

That is a networking issue that has little to do with Kodi. Get your DNS fixed.

No, my computer works fine with Kodi, and Nvidia Shield works fine with Kodi.

I think I'll make a reinstall with OSMC instead.

Thank you guys for your answers!
