Hi.
Synology NAS (with SMB name \\NASDS418j) work just fine on Windows when added as Network Drive. I can even open File Explorer and write \\NASDS418j and I get the overview of all the folders on my Synology NAS.
I have created a user on my Synology NAS which I am using for all my Kodi connected devices called kodi, which has a simple password that I can remember.
I have a Nvidia Shield, running Kodi (Matrix) which I have set up to work with my Synology NAS. Works like a charm
I have an Android TV (Sony) running Kodi (also Matrix), which I used to have set up to work with my Synology NAS - Used to work like a charm, but when trying to add the SMB source as on my Nvidia Shield I get an error, almost no matter what I try.
Yesterday I updated my Synology to version 7.x (from 6.x) and all of a sudden my SMB share doesn't work on my Android TV.
I have also tried installing Kodi on my phone (Oneplus 6T) and adding the SMB share here, which works fine as well - albeit a little slow compared to my Shield and Android TV (when this worked).
I found some threads suggesting to use SMB1 as minimum and maximum in Kodi on the Android TV, which a tried - didn't work. Also tried adding Legacy support - didn't work either.
When I try to add my NAS as a source on my Android TV, I get the message: "operation not permitted".
In the logs I see the following:
SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://USERNAME: [email protected]
unix_err: '1' error : 'Operation not permitted'
GetDirectory - Error getting smb://USERNAME: PASSWORD@NASDS418J/
(added spaces to above snippets to avoid
)
And that is the only mention there is of that error.
From my Synology Log Center is read that NTLMv1 was not enabled, so I went to enable that. However that didn't change anything - I still can't connect.
I'm assuming my issue is that Synology is trying to move away from SMB1 (which I expect my Sony Bravia TV is using - far from sure though) while a lot of devices still rely on that very old technology. I read that a lot of people have issues with their Sonos speakers, alike to the issues I'm experiencing here.
However I hope that someone here has a solution to the issue I'm facing.
EDIT:
I read a lot and other people are also having Synology NAS devices and they are having the same problem after the DSM 7.x update.

- Went to Settings > Media > Library > Videos > Add > Browse > Add Network Location
- Protocol: Windows network (SMB)
- Server name: NASDS418j
- Username: KODI (Don't know why this is uppercase, but it seems to work - I'm almost sure that I created the 'KODI' user before updating to the newest version on my Synology yesterday, it seems to have been changed to 'kodi')
- Password: <password>
