I have been a long time user of Kodi with Libreelec on tinkerboxes. I currently have 3 RPI 2-3 and one Odroid. 2 of the RPis are running stable and are recognized and connect by Nautilus on my Ubuntu Laptop. One of the RPis and the Odroid are running Alpha and are recognized by Nautilus but when I try to open the share to update with a .tar I get a "connection timed out" error. I can ssh into them fine but would prefer to use Samba to drag and drop. Any help would be appreciated.

Could you please check which Samba settings are done on all of your LibreELEC devices and if they differ, please change the non-working ones to the same settings as those which are working.

Thanks for the help. Pretty embarrassing when I go on the LibreElec site to get the .tar to upgrade my clients and the Samba issue is the first thing to pop up. I was certain it was an issue with the alphas and was driving myself crazy. I am updating all of the clients to 8.2.3 or higher and going to reboot the router. I added the lines to the NAS server. Hoping for the best.

Ugg. I updated all of the clients, added the lines to /etc/samba/smb.config on my laptop and NAS, rebooted everything and now Nautilus won't open any of the clients from my laptop. I used testparm on the laptop and NAS and it showed no errors. Any idea what to trouble shoot next?

scp updatefile.tar root@libreelecbox:~/.update/
ssh root@librelecbox reboot

"Do you get an error in Nautilus, if so what is it (a timeout error would strongly suggest a failure to negotiate a common protocol, ie. client speaks SMB2 while Nautilus speaks only SMB1, or vice versa"
Currently I don't get an error but the the Samba shares don't show up in +Other Locations under files using Ubuntu 17.10. If I try to connect to them directly using SMB://IPaddress or SMB://hostname.local I get connection refused
Oddly my Odroid running Raybuntu's alpha popped up along with all of the other clients last night and I was able to upgrade it the drag and drop. I looked at the settings and it had Samba min SMB1. I tried changing one of the RPi clients to Samba min SMB1 and all of the shares disappeared. I have 4 RPi 2-3 that are running 8.2.3 I also have an RPi running Raspbain as a print server that hasn't been upgraded in a while. I keep my media on a NAS server and use NFS shares.

You don't need to give up, but I am just pointing out that there are other methods of sending files to a libreelec box.
