what is the better choice?

my setup is LE 9.2.8 on a pi3b and i want to access the LE drive from a linux pc on the same network - this is no problem with the Dolphin, the KDE file manager (sftp://http://rpi.lan/media/) - the problem is that Smplayer, on the pc, used to play the files fine without buffering, however something changed and now the entire file is transferred to the pc before it will play

anyone?

got an SSD plugged into a Pi 3 B+ board running LibreELEC 9.0.0 - the Pi is cabled to my router, as is my Manjaro/KDE PC

i've been screwing around for weeks trying to mount on-demand the SSD from the PC and no one has so far been able to find the cause of the error "Too many levels of symbolic links"

PC

/etc/fstab:

root@kodi.lan:/var/media/sda1-ata-SanDisk_SDSSDH32/         /home/atom/kodi      fuse.sshfs          noauto,x-systemd.automount,device-timeout=10,_netdev,IdentityFile=/home/user/.ssh/LibreELEC_root_id_rsa,allow_other,reconnect 0 0

~/.ssh/config:

Host kodi.lan
    HostName 192.168.50.111
    Port 22
    User root
    IdentityFile /home/atom/.ssh/LibreELEC_root_id_rsa

from a terminal i can ssh into kodi just fine, but as soon as i add 'x-systemd.automount' to fstab (and run 'systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart home-atom-kodi.automount'), i get the "Too many levels of symbolic links" when i cd into ~/kodi

if i add 'device-timeout=10' in addition to 'x-systemd.automount', this results in an empty ~/kodi directory

there are no symbolic links in play - ~/kodi is an empty directory used for the mount point

whether i use an IP or domain in fstab doesn't matter

my goal is...

* i want to be able to mount the Pi SSD on-demand from graphical file manager (Dolphin) with read/write permissions

* i don't want to use SMB
