Hello

When trying to add SMB adress, Kodi asks for user name and password. Despite the absolutely correct data, Kodi asks again and again. SMB server is Windows 10 x64 PC.

What can be done in order to connect to SMB?

In Kodi 16 access to SMB works after adding the next text to the smb.conf:
-------
client lanman auth = yes
lanman auth = yes
ntlm auth = yes
client use spnego = no
client NTLMv2 auth = no
-------
but in Kodi 17.0-17.3 it doesn't work.

What I did was to save the connection anyway and then when I go back to browse sources it magically works.

It turned out, that SMB user name should be in english (latin) keyboard layout, while in my case user name was in russian (cyrillic) layout.

Thread marked solved.
