I've been running OpenELEC since 1.95.something on Fusion hardware (Asus E45M1-I Deluxe). I run the systems without any local storage - everything is held on an unRAID server, media files, MySQL server, PXE boot & tftp, etc.
I'm currently stuck on OE v3.0.2 (later versions - certainly up to 3.0.6 won't load posters/fanart)
However, I'd like to move on to current releases, but v3.1/3.2 have problems with holding sources. If I boot a 3.1/3.2 system, there are no sources present. I can enter a source (nfs share on my unRAID server), using the standard GUI, and can access all the media there. However, if I reboot the OE box, the source I just entered is no longer available. If I revert to a v3.0.2 image, all is back to normal.
Why do v3.1 and v3.2 not retain sources? I believe that these are the versions which use the new 'plugin' configuration utility, but I don't know whether there is a connection netween this and my problem.
I have sources.xml redirected to a user share on my unRAID server, via path substitution, so that the same sources are shared by all clients:
AS far as I can determine, all shares on the unRAID server are writable from OE.
All assistance greatly appreciated.
