Playback randomly stops over smb share - grnt - 2017-04-24
Hi all,
I have all my files stored on an ubuntu NAS and I have my Windows system running Kodi v17 accessing the files as an smb share through the software itself (no mapped drives).
I have been having an issue only in Kodi (the network doesn't drop from the Windows machine) where playback simply stops and I am sent back to the episode list. Sometimes I can immediately reconnect other times I have to wait a little while before it will load the show again.
Here is a log of the problem https://pastebin.com/hGsbCY0Q. I also have an advanced settings file which was supposed to help with buffering https://pastebin.com/q1kcDBH0.
I can see a few lines I think might be an issue but I really am at a loss as to what to try, if it makes any difference I am only running the Steam Launcher Addon.

Not a networking expert, but looking at the advancedsettings paste-> Note: In Kodi v17, the three buffer settings are removed from the <network> tag and now placed under the new <cache> tag. See #cache for full details. http://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#network advancedsettings.xml (wiki) might want to tickle these before throwing your hands into the air.

My current advanced settings linked had the buffering value in the cache section.
I will try adding some of the other values and see what happens.
