unix_err:'16' error : 'Invalid argument' - unmesh - 2014-08-06
I install a nightly every few weeks and installed the Aug 5 build of 14.0 earlier today. When trying to access video directories on my Linux NAS over SMB, I now get the "invalid argument" error in both the UI and in xbmc.log. No folder permissions have changed though I have added video files. I've even tried the IP address instead of the system name to no benefit.
ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://192.168.1.201/Volume_1/Videos/_English'
unix_err:'16' error : 'Invalid argument'
Should I try loading a previous version of XBMC?
Another SMB source with only 32 directories in the parent directory loads fine.
Is there a limit to the number of directories, each representing a movie, that can be placed under a single directory? The failing one now has 1363.

For reasons I don't understand, the access problems have gone away. I did not knowingly change anything.

*.mkv is not a valid filename
