Hi,

I get an error at adding a SMB share (on Windows 7 PC) for Videos on my Mac (10.9.2)

Code:
16:49:33 T:4529668096   ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://MEDIAPC/'
                                            unix_err:'3c' error : 'Operation timed out'
16:49:35 T:140735300993808   ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting smb://MEDIAPC/
16:49:35 T:140735300993808   ERROR: CGUIDialogFileBrowser::GetDirectory(smb://MEDIAPC/) failed

I think, it must be a problem of the Windows PC. After I restart this PC I can add the SMB share without problems. If I set this PC to standby and wake him up, shares aren't recognized in XBMC (but I can browse the shares with Mac OS X without problems)

Any idea what's wrong with the Windows 7 PC?
Try it with the ip rather than the share name.
