SMB 'Software caused connection abort' in 10.0 BETA1

1st Official Post

    I'm unable to connect to either of my SMB network drives. I am able to connect to another Libreelec SMB drive running 9.2.6.

    This is a fresh installation, not an upgrade. It was working in 9.2.6

    Thanks in advance.

    The SMB changes can cause a "challenge", with its version going from v1 to v2 (and higher). The question is: can your file server do SMBv2, or is it confined to the security-problem version v1?

    SMBv2 no longer supports network browsing, so any new connections will need to be made via the "Add network location.." option. Also, SMBv2 requires a user with a password.

    After some SSH enabling and smb.conf editing I can enable v2, and it works with that. "Add network location.." is required but not a user/password.'

    Feel free to mark this 'Resolved'.
