After much experimenting and not being able to discover any ROMs on an SMB share (via libreelec on Matrix) I’ve tested via the local sdcard and I can discover ROMs!

Is there a known issue with SMB shares? My collection is held there and far exceeds the SD card in my rpi4.

Logs below:

SMB share (same files are here as per local directory and I can browse them within Kodi using the filemanager, but none are detected by AEL

File "/storage/test/1Xtreme (USA)/1Xtreme (USA).chd"

Expected 'chd' extension detected

ROM does not belong to a multidisc set.

File already into launcher ROM list. Skipping file.



File "/storage/test/1Xtreme (USA)/1Xtreme (USA).sav"

File has not an expected extension. Skipping file.



File "/storage/test/1Xtreme (USA)/1Xtreme (USA).zip"

File has not an expected extension. Skipping file.

Also tried within a rom directory (which proves I can browse using the credentials without issue, still finds no files. I use the same credentials and NAS for media within Kodi and there's no issue. Appears to be an issue with AEL and SMB.
