SMB problem with LibreELEC-RK3399.arm-9.0-nightly-20181028-75688f2-rockpro64

I've been trying the nightly builds for the RockPro64. They mostly work, but I can't access windows shares - I had to test using a USB drive. The same shares work fine with recent releases of LibreELEC.

I turned on debug logging and saw the following:

18:01:27.525 T:4070839072 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting smb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@10.2.0.40/AV/

18:01:27.525 T:4070839072 ERROR: CGUIDialogFileBrowser::GetDirectory(smb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@10.2.0.40/AV/) failed

I used "Add Network Location" and the correct USERNAME and PASSWORD are set (I double checked this.) I suspect that for some reason these development releases are not passing the correct parameters to SMB.

If this is not the right place to report this, please let me know.

There's nothing wrong with SMB in current images. What is the SMB server?

Windows Server 2016. Same server works fine with all recent non-development releases of LibreElec on Odroid C2 (and with OSMC on Vero 4K.)

Is the debug log supposed to show the actual USERNAME:PASSWORD? My USERNAME has a space, could that be an issue?

Is there additional debug information I can gather?

The real credentials are masked with USERNAME:PASSWORD for security reasons as people post logs to pastebin.com and similar.

Spaces in usernames are always a bad idea.

I created a new account with no spaces in the name on the server, and LibreElec connected fine.

This does seem to be a bug with LibreElec or Kodi as accounts with spaces work fine on previous (non-development) releases, so something must have changed.
