I've hesitated from up upgrading to Kodi from Gotham because of AFP shares. I use a mac mini as a media center
to connect to a Yosemite iMac. AFP has worked, but Kodi has broken that. I have SMB turned on in Sharing and add the
SMB share in Kodi as smb://user:password@ipaddress, but when I try to access it, I get "Error - operation timed out".
I've tried SMBUp and that works, but I'd rather not have to worry about whether a server is running. It doesn't
autostart anyway. Am I missing something?

When I add the smb share and select it, I get "Error - Broke pipe". Even when putting in a user ID and password.
Any other suggestions? I appreciate the help, by the way.

Confirming you used Add network location as per the link I gave you ?
- Instead of entering xxxxx.local for the server name try the IP address of the machine sharing the media.
- Leave Shared folder blank
- enter Username and Password + OK
Have you tried adding shares via Zeroconf ?
Also Windows network (SMB) > WORKGROUP ?

I've tried it with xxxxx.local and the IP address, but each time I get "Broken pipe".
Under Zeroconf there's (AFP) & (SAMBA), but nothing happens when I select (SAMBA).
There's nothing under Windows network (SMB).

Use the manual add for your network location. I think it's the last option if you scroll down past the samba browser and zero configuration options. It says "Add network location...".

Just leave it on Read if your worried someone will delete something, that still worked when I tested it.
