Actually this is exactly how your colleague (SilentlyScreaming) set up the link to SambaDroid when he configured my Droidbox, i.e. setting up a Source (e.g. smb://sambadroid/AllStorage/udisk0/Downloads/) in File Manager. I then entered this location in the addon's download settings. When I then...

Edwin, Hanging off a few days installing OS v107 for obvious reasons. In the meantime I'd be interested in the results of your testing: a) is stuttering video in LibreELEC fixed? b) is the issue of unwritable drives in Android now fixed?

After installing the new LibreELEC update I noticed the old problem of unwritable drives on the Android side of the box has reappeared. Edwin Williams has posted a warning not to try using SDFix (as before) to solve this issue. [Unfortunately, this was too late for me and I had to reinstall the...

I recently installed SambaDroid on my Droidbox T8-S Plus for a different purpose and noticed that SambaDroid/AllStorage is visible across my home network. So in principle all the (internal and external) drives attached to my Droidbox are just as visible as my NAS drive and can be used to stream...

A correction. The issue with “Random and last items script error” when connected to media on my NAS drive is back again. This occurs when I connect to my Synology Diskstation (using Add Video Source/Browse/Add network location-SMB+server name+username+password). This connection works ok but...

Sorry Edwin, I'm not sure of the firmware version. Is there a way I can see this anywhere?

There were no instructions from Droidbox not to share, but I guess the shelf life is short. The link is removed As mentioned I used an SD Card, containing this zip file, with "Apply from EXT" in the recovery menu. Initially the installation did not include DBMC, kodi, ES File Explorer etc. but...

Have been in contact with Droidbox this morning. They provided me with a link to a revised version of the OS (with LibreELEC). I installed this from an SD card with "Apply update from EXT" in the recovery menu (and waited for some time for the Android apps to install from the server) and my box...

Edwin, You probably don't recall but we had exactly the same conversation regarding unwritable drives back in July. As I mentioned in my long posting above: "I had a similar problem with the previous OS so tried the solution of running NetApp SDFix/ES File Explorer but this did not work in...

Thanks Edwin. Good advice, but this doesn't solve the issue of unwritable drives or any of my other issues. I'm not expert enough understand the relevance or how to change the platform.xml file, I think I'd just like to re-flash back to the previous OS if that's still possible. I'll join you on...

Similar problems I think, but "e: cannot load /misc" is for me the least important. I installed the new OS using OTA Updater earlier in the week. Initially things were Ok but then gradually various old and new problems appeared. Installed Wookie wizard on Android DBMC and LibreELEC and again...

Try this from the T8-S Thread. Install SDFIX and ES File Explorer from Play Store. Run SDFIX. In file explorer select the Root Explorer slider (on the left) and then click on the words Root Explorer, a pop-up box allows you to select "Mount R/W", then a second pop-up box allows you to select RW...

Many Thanks Edwin. I have also installed SDFIX and ES File Explorer. In file explorer I found that if you select the Root Explorer slider (on the left) and then click on the words Root Explorer a pop-up box allows you to select "Mount R/W", then a second pop-up box allows you to select RW for...

I get the same problem with my T8-S Plus OpenElec on which I've recently carried out a system restore, OTG update and installed the latest versions of DBMC and Kodi. Since these updates I cannot write any files to my internal drive, an SDHC card or even to a USB Thumb Drive. I can read files...
