I'm running kszaq's latest custom image for Amlogic S805 and since the implementation of v.8.1.0 BETA I'm unable to access video files which I've created into shared folders on my XP WEPOS PC ( I know I should upgrade and it's an old legacy device really but I prefer xp and i'm still getting monthly security updates).
I've read the release notes of the beta and as a result I've changed the smb protocol to V1.0 in the kodi gui and checked my .storage/config files to see if there's a custom samba file in place but still can't access anything. I've tried entering the full path of the share but I don't know if I'm doing it incorrectly because no matter what I try I keep getting various error messages such as operation not permitted, illegal operation or network connection not available etc.
Can any kind soul with a bit of patience do a noobish step by step walkthrough for me please or offer any help? I've been at it for a couple of days and I don't seem to be getting anywhere. It recognises my workgoup MSHOME but not my PC name or any further afield whereas previously it would recognise the path MSHOME/Name of Pc/ Name of shared folder.
I've downgraded my Libreelec image a couple of times and everything works ok then so I know the problem lies with the new images/protocols. Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
