Kodi 16.1 installed on Windows 7 box (2GB ram).
Windows Server 2008 R2 hosts all media.
- Win7/Kodi box is added as a user to server.
Server has a Movies folder that is shared on the network, that all users can view.
The movies folder has sub folders for genre.
Currently everything works find, the Win7/Kodi box can browse and play movies in all the sub folders, expect 2 folders, Horror and Rating, as they are restricted.
From a server point of view everyone has read access to all folders except 2.
The 2 folders have everyone role removed and a special restrictedfolder group added.
Only certain user accounts are members of the restrictedfolder group.
When I attempt to access the restricted folder from the Win7/Kodi box, it displays a username password prompt.
However, no matter what account I enter, it will not open the folder. Even tried server administrated account.
Just returns back to the ask for username password screen.
I have 3 other XBMC classic* XBOX connected to the network with the same user account configurations.
*Yes Classic XBOX, not 360 or One.
When I browse to restricted folder, enter the username password of a restricted folder user from the XBOX's I can connect to the restricted folders.
Anyone know why it doesn't work from Win7/Kodi box?
