I have a Kodi in an Android TV box that access several shared folders in a Win 10 PC and one old Popcorn Hour. Sometimes, I can access some folders but not others (operation not permitted), and sometimes I can after a period of time or after I restart Kodi and/or the TV box and/or the PC. The weird thing is that I can access folders in the Popcorn Hour correctly, and it uses SMBv1.
There's a second Android TV box in the local network and the same problem takes place.
I already made various tweaks (enabled only the client option in SMB in the PC--I can't turn off SMBv1 bec. I won't be able to access some old devices in the local network), made sure network discovery is on and passwords for sharing disabled, added a "kodi" user in the PC and made sure the folders are shared with everyone and "kodi" in read only), and the problem persists.
I share this here because I don't think it's a problem with Kodi but with Windows, and I read that SMBv1 has been deprecated. To recap, I can sometimes access a shared folder and sometimes can't (operation not permitted). After several minutes, I might be able to access it, or if I restart Kodi, the Android TV box, or the PC. In some cases, a folder that I could access initially is no longer so. But there are situations when I can access all folders correctly.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
