Ahhhh, this Samba thing is driving me crazy.

Can you run the following:

Code:

sed -i 's/SMB3/SMB1/' /storage/.smb/smb.conf

then restart Kodi (or reboot) and see if that helps.

It's possible Samba is negotiating to use the SMB2 or SMB3 protocol with your server but your server doesn't really support the negotiated protocol, and only supports SMB1 (reliably).

The above command should force Samba to use only the older (and insecure) SMB1 protocol. Maybe see if there's an update for your server?
