I'm trying to set up kodi over my home network using windows file sharing (SMB).
When I add video source in kodi it can see the PC under SMB, but as soon as I click on it the Windows 8.1 PC it's trying to connect to crashes
I have disabled home groups and turned off password protected sharing and the two PCs can see each other on the home network.
The PC that crashes is running Windows 8.1 and the PC trying to connect to it is running windows 7.
I have enabled a specific folder to be shared to 'everyone' on Windows 8.1.
The Windows 7 PC can see the shared folder under network, but as soon as I click to open it the Windows 8.1 PC crashes and reboots every time.
This happens regardless of what I share. Also the Windows 8.1 PC can access shared folders the other direction (from the Windows 7 PC) just fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Sometimes a BSOD is shown before the crash, here are the Blue screen viewer dumps (I have no clue what to do with them)
DUMPS
The Windows 7 PC is not the problem because the same problem happens with other PCs trying to connect
I understand this problem might be outside the scope of Kodi, but I have no idea where else to turn, I'm at my ropes end with this
