Hi Ian,

The option to show 'backend channel numbers' is still there, it's in "Settings" under "PVR & Live TV" and then under "Channels" on the side. The option is "Use channel numbers from backend".

You will need to have your settings set to "Advanced" to see the option (this can be changed in the bottom left hand corner of this page).

You should have a look at the channel configuration in the Web UI. In my experience a few reboots are all that is necessary for all your channels to show up, but some may not be enabled so they won't be displayed in Kodi.

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise.

I tried DMC's method and everything looks to be working perfectly.

Many thanks
Phil

Yes, that explains it, Windows 10 Enterprise had it's default changed. That one is one Microsoft, if you want to connect to the IceBox there are options to set a password on the IceBox under "LibreELEC" and then under "Services", under the "Samba" settings.

I use a wireless mini keyboard. I've attached a cheat sheet for the commands to drive the IceBox.

Ok, a soft reset did the trick but the channel order is all over the place. I thought I'd fixed the missing channels but as the list below shows all the ABC channels are missing.

I seem to recall there was an option to have the channel number the same as the LCN,  but cannot find it now.

Previously the channel numbers were.

11 - 10 Peach
12 - 10 Bold
13 - Nickelodeon
15 - 10 HD

20 - ABC HD
22 - ABC 2
23 - ABC 3
24 - ABC News 24

30 - SBS HD
32 - Viceland
35 - World Movies

70 - 7 HD
72 - 7 Mate
74 -
75 - 7 Bravo
76 - 7 Flix

90 - 9 HD
94 -
95 -
96 -
99 - 9 Go!

Now it shows as:

 1 - 10 Peach
 2 - 10 Bold
 3 - Nickelodeon
 4 - 10 HD

 5 - SBS HD
 6 - Viceland
 7 - World Movies
 8 - NITV
 9 - World Watch

10 - 7 HD
11 - 7 Two
12 - 7 Mate
13 - 7 Bravo
14 - 7 Flix

15 - 9 HD
16 - 9 GO
17 - 9 Life
18 - 9 Gem
19 - 9 Rush

The automatic ad skipping is great, however something that might be even better is what my Beyonwiz does and that is to place a bookmark at the actual start and end of a particular program. What is being used to detect the end of an ad break could be done here.

So, looks like I am going to have to do a few more soft resets to get all channels, or is there another way to achieve this and not have to go through setting things up?

Any tips or pointers appreciated.

I wonder if it is related to the SMB version.

As an update, putting the file into '/storage/.update' will absolutely work, but as has been said the option to enable hidden files and folders must be enabled first (and for this you will need to have the settings level set to 'Expert' to see that setting).

In terms of unauthenticated guest network access I can see at some point that Windows 10 Enterprise and Education were changed to default to have that setting set to disallow, but Home and Pro should still allow it without issues.

I just took a look and it should work.

Easier to do it via Windows File Explorer. Unless you are actually being managed by some system administrator it looks like you may have fallen foul of fairly recent changes in SMB. If that is the case then the steps outlined in https://www.thewindowsclub.com/cant-access-shared-folder-because-of-organizations-security-policies may get you up and running. The Group Policy Editor is the preferred route, but if you have a Windows edition that doesn't sport the Group Policy Editor then editing the registry will do the job. Usual precautionary steps when using regedit apply.

Hi Daniel,
Below are the error messages I get when trying to connect by the RUN box and WINDOWS EXPLORER.

....
I saw a message from DMC,
I am going to try this method
It says,
"You could try to copy via a USB flash drive.  However, the file needs to go into '/storage/.update' and in Linux files/directories starting with '.' are hidden by default so you can't see them from the Kodi file manager without some extra steps.

Try: Settings -> Media -> General -> Show hidden files and directories.

Then: Settings -> File manager -> Add source -> Browse -> Home folder -> .update -> OK -> OK.

Now in the file manager, navigate to '.update' on one side and then your USB Drive on the other.

Select the file, open the context menu (the button under mute on the ICE RCU), select 'Copy' and then confirm.

To be on the safe side, I'd undo the 'Show hidden files' step once the file manager source has been created.

NOTE: I have not tested this to see if the IceBox will actually perform the update from here.
