I've given up trying to use my Synology NAS to increase space for recordings.  Not because of IceBox but a problem with Synology nfs shares. Therefore, I've purchased a 4Tb USB drive.  LibreElec automatically recognises the drive and mounts it to /var/media/TOSHIBA EXT.
Can anyone suggest how I can override this automatic behaviour and instead, mount it to /storage/recordings, please?

Given that our now failing HUMAX has 2 Tb and it always seems to be full, the 1Tb in the new IceBox seems inadequate.
Of, course, I could buy a 4Tb SSD drive and substitute it for the one supplied but they cost in the $500-600 range and I already have a Synology NAS with 5Tb of free space and the ability to add another 6Tb reasonably cheaply.
I have therefore tested mounting shares on the NAS to the IceBox for the recording, pictures, tvshows and videoa directories, with success.
I now want to make those shares permanent so they survive a reboot.  The Linux way is to enter them into the fstab file at /etc/fstab.  Trouble is, in LibreElec the fstab file is a protected system file which can't be changed even by the root user.

The process for doing this with Kodi appears to be to add a Skin which goes into the /storage/.kodi/addons directory, copy that skin to another file in the same directory then add a fstab file to that.

Does anyone know of a better way?

I need to install the new firmware manually since the version of my icebox predates the automatic update.  I have searched all the directories using WinSCP for the Update directory but cannot find it.  Where should it be?

Has anyone been successful in using a HDHomerun as the tuner for an IceBox?  I'd be grateful for a simple how to.

Comskip is installed in IceBox by default. Is it used when recording or must it be enabled by the User?

I have a Synology NAS with PLEX server installed using a HDHomerun 4 tuner.  I would like to stream from it to Icebox.  Kodi has a PLEX Add-On for just this purpose.  I have installed the Add-On but it just sits there doing nothing.  It is supposed to let me sign into my Plex Account.

Has anyone managed to get this combination working.
