My SMB shares stopped working recently (XBMC 9.11). While it worked before, now any time I try to open a SMB source (which is most), I get the "Modify Profile" screen. I put in the correct pw and it immediately bounces back to a blank password.
I think it may have been after upgrading both computers to OS X 10.6.4 (which I thought was supposed to fix SMB problems).
I recall that previously I had changed some settings to get SMB to work with 10.6.2 or 10.6.3, but for the life of me I can't remember what they were now.
I suspect that having those settings changed combined with the 10.6.4 update caused this problem.
The other possibility is that I inadvertently selected "Update Library" and then cancelled it (but that's a stretch).
I double checked windows file sharing was active in sys prefs.
I verified that I could connect to the SMB shares from the laptop on which XBMC is running, via the Finder. Even with a volume mounted, it does not work in XBMC (does as described above).
Anyone else having this issue? Any guesses what I might have done before? (Yeah i know, write this S*t down somewhere, right.)
edit:
I think the modification I made before was to add this to the end of my smb.conf file:
I noticed that was gone -- probably with the 10.6.4 update. I re-added it and turned off & on windows sharing and unfortunately am having the same problem still.
