Is anyone having problems with recent builds not connecting to Windows shares? I have been using #1013 and this is fine. I found with #1025 that I couldn't load the MediaPortal TV plugin properly, but I didn't have time to look into it.

Now I've done some more testing, and it looks as though with recent builds I can't browse or connect to SMB shares on a Windows 10 PC at all.

The wiki seems quite sparse in this area (or I'm looking in the wrong place), but I'm looking into playing with Windows registry settings, specifically

I'm guessing this probably has something to do with the smb fixes in #1018, but I can't believe I'm the only once seeing problems.

EDIT:

Yes, everything before #1018 is fine. With #1018 (and Titan skin - will test with Estuary if needed) it seems to get stuck in a loop on startup.

I'm leaving it running, and it is carrying on with more of the same, for every folder in a share that it is checking/trying to access. I have actually applied the relevant registry fixes on my server (unless I have missed anything).

MediaPortal relies on the SMB shares being accessible, so as far as I am concerned, this fix has completely broken Kodi/LibreElec. I don't say this as a complaint, but just so you know what the problem is, and how it impacts on useability.

I don't think I can do any meaningful testing on later builds.

Best wishes,

Mark
