v14 Error 2 Network Share Not Found
#1
I'm using Chromebox and OpenElec install and have noticed on a regular basis I receive the 'error 2 - network share not available' message when accessing shares. I have also noticed that the weather doesn't update until I tell it to refresh after a startup as well

This happens whether or not using DHCP or Static IP.

Must I manually add each share name to prevent this error from happening

Hard drives goto sleep. I be if you try to access same share again it will be OK.

this only seems to be happening with kodi and can take upto 5 minutes before it sees the shares, which means the library update won't function properly on startup as it wants to remove all content as its not seen - no other devices on network have problems - my drives in my freenas server are set for always on so they don't go to sleep

Are you using mysql and is your network up by the time kodi is up?

I'm using OpenElec standalone build on ChromeBox - I have the unit go into suspend mode when close down so quick start-up, when it loaded after a couple of seconds I can refresh the weather so it is picked updated, I also have the unit set for DHCP which shows it has obtained the ip settings from my server (smoothwall).

On the settings for video on kodi I just tell it to look at the smb shares (i had manually added these to see if would help the error 2 message but it doesn't)

guisettings.xml
Code:
-<smb>
<winsserver default="true">0.0.0.0</winsserver>
<workgroup>myworkgroupname</workgroup>
</smb>

i can't locate the settings for the openelec side itself but it seems it listed as being in the 'workgroup' workgroup and not 'myworkgroupname', but have found the options to delay startup of kodi so will try changing that to see what happens
