Windows 10 uses a newer version of samba I think, try searching for how to enable a lower version in windows 10.

Yeah...SMBv1 is enabled on my Win10 machine...
It's weird that only the docker container isn't able to access it. I shared a folder on my kid's Win10 PC for testing, can access it from anywhere except from the container as well, so it has to do with Win10.

I'll dig some more, thanks!

Hi All,
I've been using the patches for years to run a headless kodi on a server for updates.
After compiling the kodi-gbm version I'm trying to run the headless option but I can't find how to get it to run.
When started normally it eventually seg faults with:
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting

I've been able to run it using Ctrl-Alt-F<num> and run it without any display, but it takes over all displays and I can't get back to my normal windowed environment.
Any tips would be great as I'm trying to update the suite of kodi setups I'm using but the server is the critical link before any upgrades.

Thanks,
B.

No option needed.
You need to make sure no X is running though.
You can do it like this:
sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target

Does that basically take over all displays?
I'm looking to have it essentially be headless, whilst still being able to use the server for other tasks.

Thanks and Regards,
B.

yes, gbm takes over the display. You cannot run on or in parallel to X11/Wayland

I still haven't been able to get GDM to work on my system.  My user is in input, video, audio groups.  My motherboard has built-in video that is an ASUS video card (not INTEL or NVIDIA, which I suspect could be my issue)

I ensured X wasn't running, multi-user, then did:

sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target
/opt/kodi-server-18.0b3/bin/kodi --no-test --nolirc -p

 https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/14821 should make it work again.
You can wait for RC or build from source.

works again now with rc1, thanks!
