Hi All,

I'm running the latest Crytalbuntu with XBMC 13.1 (installed fresh today). I'm also using the official iOS remote app (also up-to-date)

When I try from the iOS remote to browse music, videos or photos that are shared via smb over my network, I get the following error pop-up:

Code:
XBMX JSON-RPC Error: Invalid params.

(Code: -32602)

Data: (null)

METHOD

Files.GetDirectory

PARAMETERS

{directory="smb://192.168.0.22/media/video";

media=video;

sort={ignorearticle=0;method=label;order=ascending;};}

In the logs I get:

Code:
20:45:04 T:2702924608   ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://192.168.0.22/media/video'

                                            unix_err:'d' error : 'Permission denied'

20:45:04 T:2702924608   ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting smb://192.168.0.22/media/video

I've done some searching on the forum and there seems to be an issue where the credentials for the SMB share are not provided via the JSON-RPC call. However, the username and password are in my sources.xml:

Code:

<source>

            <name>My Video</name>

            <path pathversion="1">smb://xbmc:[email protected]/media/video/</path>

        </source>

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work?

Thanks...

Try create passwords.xml with something like this.

<passwords>
<path>
<from pathversion="1">smb://192.168.0.22/</from>
<to pathversion="1">smb://xbmc:[email protected]/</to>
</path>
</passwords>

Make sure you set Samba share correctly.

oldpoem: you're the man. This worked.

Thanks for your help!
