fix IP?
Well IP Addresses can be assigned dynamically by the router via DHCP or you can configure a device with a fixed IP address. In OSMC you can do that via the GUI in MyOSMC - Network
oh yeah, it’s just not giving me that option, only no wired connection.
Which means the cable connection is physically not detected. So try different cable and/or different port.
I don’t doubt it, I will test the cable now, but that means that either the cable or the port went bad during the upgrade?
cable checks good and port is working with another device, reinstalling now. we’ll see.
okay the june update sees a wired connection, but with the new one I still just get no wired connection.
That’s now confusing, you wrote
So why would it not have worked at that time?
I reinstalled the july update, doesn’t seem to be working, the june one is seeing the wired connection though
How would you have done that?
with the installer, it gives you option of which update to download. it was working, I just went to upgrade to the july update manually and now it is not working.
Thanks, wasn’t aware that the July Images are already published as they are normally provided a few days later.
For the time being I would suggest to stay on June version. As you are currently the only one having this specific issue I am not 100% about a possible cause of the issue. The strange point is that no RX packets are received.
Maybe one last test you could do. When on the June version configure fixed IP on the Vero and then upgrade to July.
alright, I am reinstalling june now, I will send logs for that and post upgrade to july.
Great, please do also the change to Fixed IP before upgrade.
hmm not showing up on my DHCP server but I am able to access through SSH, also I haven seen the no such file or directory errors, do I need to touch those? this is pre upgrade.

okay before upgrading I checked one of my nft servers in and scanned it, played a movie confirming *.5 is working. this is pre upgrade

looks like it’s working now, but the fact remains that the upgrade did not respond well to DHCP control and I could not install the newest update and get a connection.
Thats normal as you haven’t installed any packets at that moment so log files are empty
Was this after you configured fixed IP?
So just to reconfirm you are now on July update with fixed IP and it is working, correct?
yes, after I configured fixed IP, it is still not showing up on my DHCP server.
and yes, I am on the July update now and it is working but only with hard coded IP, which I had a static set up on my router set to the MAC address so this is not ideal. I would prefer my router see it so I don’t have any conflicts.
This is normal. If you configure Fixed IP your DHCP Server obliviously would not know about your device. (Your router would only show it in it’s MAC table).
This now confuses me? You mean you configured Static IP via MyOSMC and/or you also did a fixed mapping of MAC/IP on the DHCP Server?
okay, I guess I thought it should know about it at least to avoid conflicts but that is another discussion.
on the OSMC is was only set to configure via DHCP, my router had the MAC stored in the DHCP server and would give it a set IP once it turned on.
