    Even if you set kodi-system-service-SMB client-maximum protocol version to 1?

    Same problem, service set to v2 in Kodi, min v2 max v3 in libreelec (default settings), no matter if i set password or not i cannot even see media player in home network PCs.

    Using \\192.168.1.23 in file explorer address bar brings up a pop up window asking for password. No matter what psssword i use, i always get error, wrong username / pass

    I did try both, disabled and enabled password (libreelec config program) , used a couple of simple user/pass so there is no typo or anything, .. no luck

    PS I have read in portal a reply about win 10 hack to add back smbv1 (?) , Dont know if trick works, but i really do not want to do that, its the only thing i did not try

    You have to change the SMB setting in kodi-system-service-SMB client-maximum protocol version to 1..Then browse to your windows 10 share from file manager and add source...enter name and password and you can change back to SMB 2 or 3...Then just browse your windows share from the added source...you cannot add smb source while on Smb2 or higher..at least didnt work for me...

    To access Libreelec smb from windows..name:libreelec password:libreelec

    To enable SMB1 in Creators go to control panel-programs-programs and features-turn windows features on or off and tick smb1/cifs shares

    Ah, thanks Millhouse and mario77. I did not expect anything to change from changing over from openelec, apart from Kodi being upgraded.

    I did see the options for SMB2 -> SMB3 but did not realise I am using SMB1.

    So I need to enable SMB1 and also add it to sources.xml. I'll try that when I get home.

    Thankyou for the help.

    Enable SMB 1 to add source then you can go back to default....If it doesn't work you may need to password protect your windows account first or create a second account with password..

    The problem is that Mysql server is not sharing the actual files on your sever but a library (shortcuts to the movies)

    So first you need to make sure that Libreelec can access those movies directly by going to file manager in Kodi and browse to your server and click on a movie see if it works...

    I m suspecting that the Mysql is using samba...if so and you are using LE 8.1.1 or 8.1.0 you need to enable SMB1 from Kodi services settings...If you want to be safer and use higher Smb 2 or 3 you need to make a new account on your server and make it password protected for it to work with LE...It's all in the LE main page...

    Mario77 CIFS (OS) mounts will (in pre-4.13 kernels*) default to SMB1, so yes your SMB1 CIFS mounts will fail when connecting to an 8.1.1 Samba server using the default SMB2 min protocol setting.

    Your options are to enable SMB1 on the LE 8.1.1 Samba server (not a good idea), or add "vers=2.1" (or better) to your CIFS mount service in order to establish an SMB2 (or better) connection, ie.:

    Code
    # Any options you usually use with the "-o" parameter in the mount command
    Options=username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,vers=2.1

    Adding "vers=2.1" to the service may already work when connecting to an older LE 8.x or 7.x server, so could be added before any server upgrade.

    We may need to update the sample config/wiki to mention the vers=x.y option.

    * starting with 4.13.0 the kernel will now default to SMB3 when establishing a CIFS mount.

    This makes a lot of sense..thanks milhouse

    If that was necessary, then you haven't followed the instructions in the release notes. You probably have an old samba.conf on the LE system you are connecting to.

    Both systems are running 8.1.1...the old samba.conf was deleted and redone on both machines when I updated to 8.1.0...and is working fine.I can access both LE instances from a windows 10 PC..

    So my setup is Rpi2 with LE connected to TV booting from hdd which is where my media is stored....then I have an HP laptop running LE...which is only running Plex server....this laptop has no media attached but is mounting the hdd connected to the Rpi2...

    Now what happened is that when I updated the laptop to 8.1.1 from 8.1.0 the mount failed....I had to go to Libreelec Configuration addon-services and set minimum supported protocol to SMB1 on both machines for the mount to work..

    edit...just set the laptop back to minimum supported protocol SMB2 and the mounts are still working...I ll try do the same at the RPi2 end and see what happens

    escalade Ok so done the same on the rpi2... back to minimum supported protocol SMB2 from SMB1 and the mounts failed again..

    Hi Mario77,

    After you have forcing SMB 1 was you able to mount the cifs with the same configuration you have before?

    Thanks

    I think you r talking about the setting on system-services-smb...that doesn't change anything to mounts...

    What made the mounts work again for me is the new SMB setting in the LibreElec program addon...I set minimum to smb1 instead of 2 and they worked with the same configuration...

    Openelec uses same system/storage partitions...I will try this....when you are in libreelec Live mode go to file manager in kodi and look for your openelec installation and rename it...In rpi I installed mini tool partition wizard on a windows PC and made a partition ext4 on hdd I boot to named hddstorage instead of storage as I had another storage elsewhere on the sd card then edit the cmdline...which is on the usb LE installation for Rpi....

    so now my cmdline.txt looks like this" boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=LABEL=STORAGEHDD quiet"

    I would try disconnecting ssd and try again..

    Again I don't know for sure if you have the cmdline.txt in the nuc LE version..

    Do you have another instance of LE installed on your Nuc in another location?Maybe on internal storage?I got that error on my Rpi when i changed cmdline to boot from Label=storage and I had 2 folders with the name storage so system got confused which storage to boot to...Not sure if this apply to Nuc just trying to help out...
