  • access windows shares

    My HTPC is not always on, but the windows computer where everything is stored is always on.
    pretty vanilla windows 8.1 pro with workgroup is just default WORKGROUP

    on my opensuse pc I just add 'wins' and it magically starts to work.

  • access windows shares

    Not sure where you would configure the WINS server in kodi... I don't understand windows networking I know it is too complicated of a mess.

    All i know is that both kodi and my PC can connect to my windows 8.1 network shares via IP but only the PC can connect to SMB shares with the wins name. after adding 'wins' to the nsswitch.conf ie:

    Code
    hosts:          files wins mdns [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]  dns
networks:       files dns

    connecting via IP is ok but less than ideal on home networks with dhcp.

  • access windows shares

    LibreELEC 8.0
    When trying to access windows shares, it just shows timeout.
    my opensuse install acted same way until i add 'wins mdns' and make sure winbind is installed. I added file ~/.config/nsswitch.conf with these lines added but libreelec still cannot see the shares.

    is there something else I have to do for libreelec to see windows shares?

  • crash - AMD

    One week without crash with software decode only. Consistent crash with hardware decode. memory never get close to full. Other than I can say that OE never experienced this crashes I lack the skills to debug any further on my own.
