I use Kodi version "Helix" on a Raspberry Pi (Kodi version compiled 24-12-2014) and I want to play video's from my Linux machine via ssh.
I've filled in Kodi's dialog box for this (Video's > Files > Add videos > Browse > Add network location > Protocol secure shell (ssh/sftp)). I gave in the IP addess of the other machine, username, port 22 etc etc. time and time again but Kodi keeps on throwing me the following error message:
Ignoring this error does not help (of course). What's driving me crazy is that when I connect to the Pi w/ ssh in a terminal en then I try to connect "back" to my linux box from the Pi via ssh it DOES WORK!!! That is: I CAN log in with ssh from the Pi to my Linux PC. Be it that the first time I had to delete the file /home/pi/.ssh/known_hosts. But Kodi gives me nothing but the cryptic error:
How can I connect to my Linux machine via ssh IN Kodi itself?
