Hi.

I'm making a switch from SMB to HTTPS share.

The .srt files are not loading when i'm watching videos.

Do i need to enable something, or is this not a thing?

Its not possible with https, you could use webdavs which works over https

Edit
Noticed in another thread you where using nginx, i use nginx with http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_dav_module.html

Works fine

@marantz.
Could you explain how to enable davs on my sites?
Got 2 sites using basic auth https.

[marantz]

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_dav_module.html there is a guide, it can be used together with basic auth

https://github.com/arut/nginx-dav-ext-module use that module.

Im quite certain ubuntu can apt-get that module, but with other OS you might have to compile it yourself

I cant think of a technical reason why it wouldn't be possible. Do you have any insight as to why? Have you read this somewhere?

[marantz]

no, but I made a trac about it 2-3 years ago and they said it wouldnt be added.

@marantz is your certificate your using self signed or a "proper" one? I just cant seem to get my self signed one to work.

Would you mind posting your sources.xml entry (with password/user xxxx ed out obviously) ?

I would be really greatefull.

[marantz]

I use real ones, letsencrypt is free

Thanks, I found the problem, kodi will automatically except self signed certs, BUT only if the cert exactly matches the FQDN of the server your apche config says it is. As with the broweser you can just push your way through :-)

So my solution was just to creat a new cert for the site I was serving that matched the name of the server I was presenting, and it worked!! I could work with https !!

Then I used DAVS://user:[email protected]:port/directory/|auth=any as the source it was all good (I could not get digest to work so droped to basic auth which did, but its over ssl so I think should be fine)

thanks.
