Samba "Too many open files"

Roi · February 11, 2021 at 2:59 PM

Hello,

I get the error "Too many open files" in kodi.log, e.g. with with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.80-nightly-20210210-15d426f:

Code

2021-02-11 15:22:38.989 T:1471     INFO <general>: SMBFile->Open: Unable to open file : 'smb://USERNAME:[email protected]/D%24/folder/picture.jpg'
unix_err:'18' error : 'Too many open files'

For the screensaver it does not work anymore (or shows Fanart instead). But also other stuff is not working anymore and is showing the error "Too many open files" on the Kodi interface.

Regards,

Roi

I've seen it also, I think there's an open issue on Github about it...

~~The last couple of nightly builds are working fine now. Thanks to all involved!~~

My bad, I updated my libraries without error, but didn't actually add and scan a new library. Sorry for misleading anyone.

I've just done a fresh install with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.80-nightly-20210216-9a3ba92.img.gz and I am still getting the same error

Code

1    2021-02-18 06:18:09.674 T:980      INFO <general>: SMBFile->Open: Unable to open file : 'smb://USERNAME:[email protected]/Movies/300%20(2007)/poster.jpg'
2    unix_err:'18' error : 'Too many open files'

Not sure why I'm still getting errors.
