Samba Client problems on Linux kernel 6.1.109

Hi everyone, I haven't been able to update the version of my dd-wrt router for a year because samba hasn't worked since we moved from Linux kernel version 4.9.337 to Linux 6.1.109-rt28. The version of Libreelec installed is 12.1 In Libreelec when I open a samba resource it gives me the file size of 0kb. How can I solve it? On Google I read about many people who like me have this problem but the threads always end with "switch from SMB to NFS" and the discussion ends there. A thousand thanks.

I forgot Libreelec is installed on a Raspberry 4 8GB. ;-)

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

You have several banned Kodi-addons installed, you should probably get rid of them if you want any support.

Clean installation performed, without external addons both with Libreelec 12.1 and with Libreelec 13, same problem. If I used samba on a Linux kernel version 4.9.337 everything works normally...

let's do it like this, you're right...everything clean...same result

Assuming the username/password and SMB protocol versions are correct on the Kodi end, I'd start looking at the samba log on the router for more info. Also note that Kodi changed the default SMB chunk size in latest versions, and this can have odd results; but that normally manifests in failing to play things smoothly, not failing to access shares.
