Ok so I've been around since Kodi v8 or v9. Its always been a pain using smb to stream my movies and music from my windows 7 server. But now I just upgraded my 2 systems from openelec v7 to v8. Now on my HTPC everything still steams just fine using smb on v17. However in my garage on my raspberry pi running openelec when i did a fresh install to v8 i can no longer access my server through smb in kodi. I'm not a network guy and am very limited in my knowledge. I have spent all day online trying to figure this out to no avail. I don't know what is wrong and how to fix it. Here is my log, hopefully i did it right and it helps you guys help me. Thanks.

Ok so I've been around since Kodi v8 or v9.

Then you should know by now we prefer full kodi.log files, not just the part(s) that users think are interesting.

smb://smb/192.168.1.229'

Why is there an extra 'smb' before the ip address?
