Hello all,
I've a strange issue with library playback of movie files that I'm looking for advice on....
Within my local LAN my three Kodi players connect to the server via SMB successfully.
The movies structure is per recommended:
If I present these same directories via an FTPS server and build a new Kodi with FTPS sources playback fails.
The initial scan of the FTPS source completes successfully and pulls in all relevant library data including .nfos and jpgs.
But any attempt to playback via library fails. Pathing into directories for playback is fine.
A look at the server (Filezilla) logs shows the Kodi player looking in the directory "above" its actual location.
For example:
Creating and populating a TV Show library source via the exact same FTPS source works fine.
The Kodi player pulls the file from the exact location first up.
This problem is identical on both Windows and RaspPi (OpenElec) platforms on both Gotham and Helix builds.
Any advice on where to look for fixes would be greatly appreciated.
BTW this is definitely FTPS not SFTP.
Thanks Vex8
