Wifi issue?

This it still up an running, but so is the one i switch PSU for :smile:

What device is the other one? Eventually requires a little less power.

OSMC Vero 4k (oldest box) is on wifi when originally installed it will have had new PSU from one of the below
2 x OSMC Vero 4k+ is on ethernet

Well, donĀ“t know if the Vero 4k is using less power than the 4k+ - you had anything connected onto the USB ports?

No the one that uses wifi only has the usb dongle for remote

No idea then.

Iā€™ve been trying to resolve it for ages, I mean it could be the PSU, presuming the WIFI user more power, sometimes its up for a few weeks other times its a few hours

Its why ive been trying to resolve all issues in log files on all OSMCs, this one I have tried factory resetting, only issues in log now are 5-10 of these on boot, but there always random films that still exist and it has access to

 error <general>: Open - Error, could not open file /mnt/NAS-Media/Films/...

But its always different films lol, now each other OSMC uses ethernet, using same MySQL, and always finds all the films etc on boot

Oh. easy one. In the network settings, check: Wait for network

Cheers, I thought that was already enabled, must have knocked it off when I made a SSID specifically for that OSMC

So @ 18.50 it was reported not responding to pings

No errors in logs, manually power cycled it at 19.15 as couldnt connect on ssh, I have enabled logging

this also shows a mediacenter restart at

is it normal for this to run constantly when in debug mode

As long as it always terminates this should be fine

So the system now seems to be stable but, I cant get my head around this

its still pinging from my Server, all good

Went to connect to the SMB / Webpage / SSH and their down, tried pinging on

Ubuntu Laptop
Windows 10 Vm
Other OSMCs in house

all as if its not on network

On the OMV server it pings it, can connect via SSH in terminal

What can I run in SSH to diagnose this, never known only one device it be able to communicate with

rebooting the AP it was connected to fixed it, this isnt a AP was previously connected to it was the 5G one in another room

So dont know if this was issue before, but other devices on network could/couldnt see it

Sounds like a potential ARP cache issue to me.

lol, and that would be what :rofl: :rofl:

Ive never had it on anything before but most of network is wired and networks stable

What and where should I be looking for?

Honestly, no idea. Iā€™m far from a network engineer.

But it should be possible to test ARP resolution via command line.

Again this a guessā€¦ networking is a pain because there are many factors.

Wired is always more frictionless than WiFi and I advise using it where possible but appreciate that you canā€™t here.

I think some years ago @fzinken had some advice for troubleshooting ARP issues. But I may be wrong.

yeah, i`ve always aimed to wire everything where possible, its been fine for a full week, least I know its not disconnecting now, its just doing something really bizarre thats stopping certain devices communicating with it

Its like if it was all devices going to AP, or one side of house where one switch is but this was

OSMC in front room could thats wired into switch next to router
Servers upstairs wired to another switch, this could, but then the OSMC wired into same switch couldnt

I had something years ago where 1 NAS wouldnt be able to be reached via IP, but could by other PCs, but it works on DNS name, that had something to do with ā€œLocal domain suffix appended to DHCP names and hosts file entriesā€
