I can't see "Virtual filesystems" in the My Addons section. What can I do to enable smb?

Installed 18.9 on my Xbox Series X.. no possibility for Virtual Filesystem as far as I can see. How to get smb working there?

Same for me, the Ad-On for SMB is not available for Xbox Serie X

The vfs.smb2 addon should be included in the install package and will be found under My addons

Many thanks, my mistake, there is a togle button to enable/disable and it is disabled by default. Thanks !

This was noted elsewhere or in the documentation, can't recall which, posting it here as a quick "gotcha" reminder ...

Once SMBv2/3 is installed/enabled, keep in mind that SMB search of "friendly network name" only functions with SMBv1. For SMBv2/3, provide the IP Address of the device when adding the [device]\[sharedfolder]. If the device is configured to allow non-authenticated access, it may still be necessary to use the "guest" username with no password to connect.

Cheers,

Hi,
I installed Kodi 19.3 on my Xbox Series S, enabled the SMB addon, but can not access my Linux shared directory.
I have no problems my CoreElec and LibreElec, so I suspect the problem is in the Xbox (Windows) system.
Can someone help?

Regards!

Is the Linux directory shared with NFS instead of SMB?

No, only with Samba. I didn't use NFS for share before.

Use "Add network location..." method.

Looks like few restarts fixed the problem Smile

Thank you for you time!
