Playing video files fails Libreelec 8.0.1 Unhandled Exception

1st Official Post

    I'm running Libreelec v8.0.1 / Kodi 17.1 on a Raspberry Pi3, freshly setup with no extra addons. I've configured a samba share with my movie files, which works and the files get catalogued. However when I try to select any of them to play I get a spinging blue icon for a second, then nothing. Also, nothing appears in the event log.

    I've copied the system log to pastebin here JQVE but the key lines appear to be:

    Code

    This happens for all the files I have. Any ideas on what could be causing this ?

    OK, here is the kodi.log with debug log turned on > eeHH

    Also, I tried copying an avi file to the local storage on the pi, and this plays succesfully, which makes me think it may be an issue with SMB ? I turned on component level debugging for SMB and repeated trying to play a movie, that log is here > UYYb
