Thanks for replies.

Well, I know S905 has HW decoder, but at the same time I remember how my old Core i3 laptop wasn't able to accelerate h264 with more than 3 ref frames, resulting in dropped frames, so I just wanted to make sure if I swap RPi2b for C2 I won'd end up still not being able to play 1080p h265.

EDIT:

BTW, is there any other alternative better than C2 I should consider (cheap, low power consumption, HDMI-CEC with KODI)?

I'm currently using Raspberry Pi2 and I'm wondering if I would be able to play video file with following spec on Odroid C2:

OK, I've finally managed to fix the problem, although I don't know why.

I found this blog post and according to it I've added 2 following lines to the storage/.kodi/.smb/smb.conf file:

[global]
 client NTLMv2 auth = no
 client use spnego = no

After that I'm able to log in and access my Samba shares again.

Hope this helps some other llamas like me.

This is what I see in the log:

09:42:49.225 T:1732592544   ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@RT-N18U/music_videos'

Ah, yeah, Libreoffice works jut fine.

I've updated router's firmware only after I couldn't manage to access the shares with Raspberry.

Today I tried with my Android phone and I can login to access the SMB shares just fine, but when using Libreelec I can't pass the username/password screen.

Hi,

I've just updated Libreoffice to the latest version with changed SMB share stuff and I'm unable to get it working as it used to work.

I can see my ASUS router's samba shares in KODI's filebrowser, but I cannot access it. When "Lock preferences for smb://...." pops out, I input my login name and password and then nothing happens. KODI asks me to imput the login again.

I have figured out that if I disable login protection on the router, I can access the shared folders just fine. But one I enable login, even though I'm using correct username and password, I can't access the sares.

I've changed SMB version to SMB1 only in the Libreelec settings, but it doesn't help.

Any other ideas what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
