Issues with SMB sources after Router's firmware update (SMB v2 & 3)

Help & Support Operating System
18

In the Kodi dialogue to set up a new source, you specify the router IP address, the share name and the user/password. This will affect the sources.xml file and the passwords.xml file. I found it easier to just set passwords on the shares as this works on my N2 Kodi and also on my satellite box running enigma. I’ve abandoned SMB V1 altogether as I have made sure my various boxes are running up-to-date software.

Here’s a snip of my passwords.xml and sources.xml files:



music
smb://192.168.0.112/Multimedia/music/
true


multichannel
smb://192.168.0.112/Multimedia/multichannel/
true

<passwords>
    <path>
        <from pathversion="1">smb://192.168.0.112/Multimedia</from>
        <to pathversion="1">smb://kodi:password@192.168.0.112/Multimedia/HomeVideos/</to>
    </path>
