Kodi/CoreElec - FTP audio library - crash

[kris007]

CoreElec connection to server - FTP/TLS is possible but I have a problem.

CoreElec / Kodi / connect to FTP -TLS?

Is it possible to connect to CoreElec / Kodi with an FTP server using TLS encryption. The server is set up on linux with the VSFTPD program. In Filezilla the connection works … but in CE / Kodi / option add video source / ftp …, despite many attempts, it does not detect the connection. The port is specific and is redirected to the CE box on the router. I have no experience with connecting outside the local LAN. Maybe there is another well-working and proven method of connecting to the server …

However, I have some problem with the library from the FTP server and Kodi/CoreElec. This only applies to the library with audio files … unfortunately, after adding the folder with audio files from the FTP server to the library, I always get a window after restarting the system with the information: loading media information from files and constantly updating the library. It’s annoying

If I redo the option add folder with ftp (audio) to library upgrade is in progress and system failure ? libraries ? … after repeated attempts, the entire CoreElec system crashed and reset the settings as if I had carried out the so-called. hard system reset from CoreElec menu… uuuupss

This doesn’t look ok:

CCurlFile::Open failed with code 550 for ftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@XX.XXX.XX.XXX:XXXXX/MP3/Lisa%20Stansfield(Discograf%c3%ada)/:

ERROR <general>: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Couldn't connect to server(7)

This error is only with the audio library … video files and their update works fine and launching video files from the ftp server is correct there are no delays or interruptions in displaying the above … only audio files from ftp something is wrong sometimes it does not show in folder and need to click a second time?
I don’t know where to look for the problem, FTP server (vsftpd) or Kodi / CE?

Probably the FTP server or its bad network connection with CE / Kodi … the Internet network itself / speed / router / configuration is out because through the LAN / samba option everything works OK
speedtest is ok

Juts for a test rename your MP3 folder on ftp server and make new sample folder only with “clean” folder and file names. Because I see you have a folder Lisa Stansfield(Discografía). Maybe the problem is just with character set.

But you need to enable debug kodi log and compare log from kodi and vsftpd.

Yes… it’s rather a problem with the VsFTPd server, it’s hard to configure for proper network operation together with Kodi / CoreElec
but i will try
