Found now samba is using a different user file witch is located in ./kodi/.smb and now need to be named user.config instead smb.conf ..
with these setting done i can browse in my network again..

The /storage/.kodi/.smb/smb.conf file is used by Kodi libsmbclient. You shouldn't need to change that - it will be rewritten every time Kodi starts. If you need to change max protocol then use the GUI setting. Your own Samba client configuration settings can be added in /storage/.kodi/.smb/user.config and will be read in after /storage/.kodi/.smb/smb.conf - what settings did you add?

neither can i connect to the box with samba.. i just see the box in network.... loll

Hard to say without knowing what you've changed. Automatic mounting of Samba shares (ie. those drives available at boot) should be working using the stock configuration - are you using a custom /storage/.config/samba.conf? The Samba4 configuration has changed a lot so any custom configuration should be rebased on the latest /storage/.config/samba.conf.sample.

I have the same problem. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=314964
But it is not possible to fix in Kodi. Some Samba problem.

You can go back to #328 if you want to add new shares. That was the latest version that was working for me.

i posted in that treat something...

Has anyone been experiencing any issues watching live tv, things like pausing and stuttering.
Think I've managed to pin it down to starting with build 0613 onwards, and still a problem with latest build.
Only happens when watching live tv, watching recordings are fine.

I'm using mediaportal with no advanced settings.

Regards Bucky

Edit definitely starts with 0613

Morning Milhouse,

I've linked a couple of logs for the above problem, basically i've used the latest 0107 build and once booted I start watching live tv and change channels a few times.
Each time i change channel the picture/sound pauses and stutter, kinda like its buffering, also sometimes when changing channel it'll just stay on a black screen for maybe 5-10 seconds before the channel starts, this all started 0613, anything before 0613 works fine for me, quick channel changes and no pausing/stuttering..

The logs are from a clean install, no advanced settings, or addons.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwAs5I...3NZWlVyNVU

Currently back on 0612...

Kind Regards

Bucky

Edit: also checked 0612b that you built for the scrolling problem, and thats also fine, so problem was introduced after that...

Amazon Instant Video and SkyGo are working just fine.
I'm on build #0701
Any suggestions?

Went to press play and the system is now locked up and I have pulled the logs and posted the kodi crash log here....

If you need others please ask.

I now need to hard reset to Pi

(2017-07-02, 20:49)Vimes Wrote: [ -> ]Just had another one of those "Preparing...0%" type of issues.

It's caused by Kodi deadlocking while accessing smb:// (which in your case is being caused by a library scan) - some sort of race condition, perhaps.

Unfortunately I don't have a solution (other than not using smb:// at all).

Try updating your plugin.video.netflix add-on from github - the latest 0.11.14 release has fixes for unicode encoding which should address your issue.

Thanks.

If I had not pressed play on that TV show it would have stuck at preparing....0% without changing. I have menu access and normally I would just reboot it and that would sort things out. Accessing the library is the way to create tha tdeadlock and crash.

Thanks anyway. I suppose it is just an "SMB" thing

To Bad ... netflix plugin stoppd workig again today.. :-(

Using plugin version 0.11.14
and stream input 2.0.0
now it makes Kodi crash #0702

I think that is fixed by a firmware update. Should be in tonight's build, but you can test early. Download:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/...f?raw=true
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/...t?raw=true

rename to start.elf and fixup.dat and replace the ones on your sdcard boot partition.
