    Thanks for the help!

    I'm having issues streaming videos via SMB in Kodi. I have two sources:

    • A Windows 10 PC
    • An Asus RT-AC87U router running the latest Merlin firmware

    Videos from the Windows PC play perfectly. However, videos from the Asus router always crash after a few secods.

    While playing a video, I press CTRL+SHIFT+O to check the buffer stats. The forward buffer shows ~7.5MB for videos from the PC, but 0.0MB for videos from the router.

    If I force SMB1 as both the minimum and maximum protocol on the router, playback works fine. But I’d like to understand why SMB2/3 fails, especially since:

    • Kodi on the same Intel NUC N100 (running Windows 11) works fine with the router
    • The router logs show errors like:

    Any ideas?
