My Mac enabled the File Sharing, and ticked user for Windows File Sharing.

I can successfully connect this server by another Mac directly, and another player, play the videos without any issue.

Code:

Then I use Kodi to connect the server, I can add network location, and browse the folders in the server. However, when I tried to open the file, it raised an error: "One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message."

When I checked the logs, below is the main error:

Code:

ERROR <general>：Getting extended attributes for the share: 'smb://USERNAME[email protected]/movies/video.mp4" unix_err:'36' error: 'Connection reset by peer'

Then I tried to connect the server via command-line app smbclient:

Code:

$ smbclient \\\\192.168.1.110\\movies password --user username -d 5

It will generate the connection but failed before the prompt. Shows this error:

Code:

smb: \> SMBecho failed (NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED). The connection is disconnected now

However, when I changed the config in smb.conf with client max protocol = NT1, which forces the negotiation to NT1(SMBv1), it works and I can see all the files.

I suspect this is the issue which makes the kodi not work as well. But I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone have thoughts or solution?

forcing SMBv1 is the only solution currently, can also be done in Kodi settings instead of mac's smb.conf
