No samba access to the shared folders

pablok · May 26, 2017 at 4:51 PM

Dear members,

I am running LibreELEC 8.0.2 on a raspberry B (version 1) and cannot access the shared folders on my xubuntu computer.

I noticed a difference in the smb.conf. The one in /etc/samba is a bit different then the one in /run/samba on the security

settings.

The settings in Kodi are that I have a user, other then kodi or root, with a password.

Please advise,

pablok

Kodi uses smbclient to talk to devices and the version we currently use (3.6.25) only supports NT1 (SMB1) connections and LANMAN auth so if your Xubuntu box does not support SMB1 or old auth methods Kodi will not connect to the shares. There is some cleanup planned for future releases both in Kodi (dropping dumb configuration) and with newer Samba versions in LE, but for now you probably need to tweak the Xubuntu config.

I switched the Use Samba Password Authentication to off and now I have access to the shares.

So, it seems not the Xubuntu config that needs tweaking.

It's completely unclear what you're trying to do and which end (server, client, etc.) you're talking about.
