"Did some windows testing on encfs. Pushing out a 0.2.5 release to use mtime stats instead of ctime stats (as ctime stats do not appear to be implemented in may implementations). Findings below. The product I recommend for windows encfs is encfs-reloaded for playback. Will do more testing.
I setup a VM of Windows and tried the various encfs products and findings below.
encfs MP
- although this looked promissing, got a stream working momentarly, it encountered reliability issues and error log on the software product filled with error messages and results were inconsistent (failed 4 out of 5 times tested). Generated read and write errors trying to delete files, etc. Deemed not usable
- i noticed ctime stats would fail on this product (generate error in log and returns 0 to KODI). I decided to move to mtime stats instead
boxcryptor classic
- looked promising but decrypted data is not made available until lock released on file. Not usable.
safe
- uses webdav and could not figure out a way to share the target with host OS to test
encfs-reloaded - https://github.com/kriswebdev/encfs4win-reloaded
- consistent results. Worked for photos and videos. Data is made available to KODI as it is decrypted."
Seem's I have to use encfs-reloaded but this is command line based I have no idea how to use it and also my .encfs6 is in another location, all this is ran on a headless windows 7 file server so it needs to be automated. If EncFSMP did not have these issues I was more or less done, would appreciate any help with encfs4win-reloaded, btw amazing plugin.
I'm building Crypto library support. I think this will stream much better, and won't rely on anything external to be installed other then Python Crypto support (which is provided for all distros). Iffy on android.
I sometimes crash my raspberry pi running osmc kodi 16.1 with encfs mounted natively. Never looked into if it was something with the situation (disk full) or other issue.
