No Samba or NFS access since LE 13

  • Hi,

    Today I have updated from 12.2.0 to last 13 nightly (03052026) and I'm not able to connect to my samba shared units connected to my old Asus AC87U router.

    With libreelec 12.2.0 samba and NFS protocols works fine. The problem is with libreelec 13. Neither samba nor NFS seems to work.

    The router has the latest merlin FW 384.13_10 and it's configured to use SMB1 and SMB2 protocol.

    When I choose the user and password in Kodi, the password file is marked in red and I can not continue. (I'm sure that the password is correct)

    Is it possible to do anything to solve this from the libreelec side, or it's time tu upgrade my old router? I would like to try something before that ... :D

    Any idea?

    Thanks!

  • K22 contains some minor changes to the SMB client:

    * Defaults to SMBv2 and large MTU support (not plain SMBv2)

    * Defaults to 128k chunk size (and size is configurable)

    The defaults were chosen by Kodi devs to work for the majority of people but perhaps your old router needs something different. Go experiment with options and see if that results in working connections again. I'd start with the minimum protocol.
