  • [SOLVED] smb:// urls don't work all of a sudden

    Hello,

    I reset the windows 10 network to defaults.

    * Control Panel

    * Network and Internet

    * Network and Sharing Center

    * status

    * Reset network

    And everything is now OK (except that I will have some other services to be reinstalled/reset like vpn, etc.)

    I cant figure out what happened. It may have to do with a vpn client I tested.

    Sorry, this was not a Libreelec issue.

    Thanks,

    Guy

  • [SOLVED] smb:// urls don't work all of a sudden

    Hello all,

    My kodi box cannot access the remote files anymore.

    I am at a loss with this issue, having spent hours on it, and not understanding what is happening.

    I have an intel NUC with LibreELEC (official): 8.2.5 (Generic.x86_64)

    My samba shares run on a windows 10 machine and my hub/router is a linksys 1200AC running LEDE.

    The kodi db is running on the same window computer, and the data are correctly accessed.

    My sources are specified by computer name.

    When I try to read a movie, the connection is refused.

    when I nslookup my host (HWFR) on the LE machine, the Ip is correctly resolved and I can ping the windows machine by name and by IP. I can ssh into it as well. So I do not think it can be name resolution or routing problem.

    I can open the shares from the same network with other windows machines with the same credentials.

    I tryied to add a source to kodi by IP, and it fails as well. I would be very reluctant to change my sources from name to IP, as they are recorded in the database.

    When I try the following command from any linux machine on the network, it also fails. I am not confident with this command.

    mount -v -t cifs //hwfr/video/cine ./cifs -o username=kodi,password=****

    mount: mounting //hwfr/video/cine on ./cifs failed: Connection refused

    I attach my full kodi log since rebootkodi.log

    One of my main problems are that I do not kown how to debug on the windows side. Is it an authentication problem, is the connection dropped somewhere, ...?

    I listened to the traffic on the wire, and I can see that packets for 139 and 445 ports arrive on the windows interface.

    The firewall and the AV are disabled on the windows machine.

    Help!
