I'm tinkering with a series x install of Kodi 20 and have attached a smb share that has a dozen or so pictures in it. When I access the share, Kodi exits. I then tried the same share via nfs with the same result. The log doesn't tell me much so I thought I'd post here. There are other Kodi 18.9 instances at this location on Windows 10 (not UWP) and LibreELEC 9 installs on Raspberry Pis that do not have any trouble accessing the same shares (via smb/nfs) (as well as a multitude of other clients).

Any hints?

question. are those images you are accessing large by chance?

wondering if theres a pattern forming in connection with this - https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=372000

They were definitely over 2MB in size.

I just edited them to be under 1MB each with the same Kodi crash result.

It does not appear to be size related in my scenario.

Thanks.

right on, just made me curious

I updated the OP to better reflect some details.

In further troubleshooting, I have had some consistent inconsistency with regard to accessing the pics folder. The xbox has (and does) occasionally open the folder and even display the pics, but mostly just force-closes Kodi. I have also installed v20 x64 on a Windows 10 22H2 PC and have the same result, sometimes it will open, but it mostly force-closes Kodi.
I have also set up another Rpi3b+ with LibreELEC 11b1 (and nightly 20230214-a6d9d93) and there too, sometimes the folder will open and contents will display, but most of the time it restarts LibreELEC.

All the Kodi installs of 18.9 / LibreELEC 9.2.8 continue to work normally as do the other various windows, android and linux devices.

I'm not sure where to best follow-up on this as it no longer seems to be an xbox exclusive issue, or even windows for that matter...

I have since installed 20.1 on xbox, windows and Libreelec (11.0.1) and I can now browse the affected directory without issue. I can do so via smb and nfs (v3 & v4). Rolling back Windows to 20.0 or Libreelec back to 11.0.0 re-introduces the issue. Although I can't roll back the xbox (retail mode), a borrowed xbox still has 20.0, and has the same directory trouble. So, in my non-scientific, near-zero-accuracy opinion, there was the possibility of a bug in Kodi that was squashed between 20 and 20.1.

The only remaining 'problem' I have with Kodi on xbox is the picture slide-show. It cycles ~20 pictures in a directory, but will only do so for an hour to hour and a half before it freaks out and exits. Certainly no show-stopper though.

I'd also like to mention that the xbox (at least series x) is incredibly usable for Kodi (dare I say daily-driver worthy?). It's been a while since I tried it, and back then it was a bit of a mess for my use case. My understanding was that there were no xbox or xbox interested devs. But, wow... It really came along for having no devs!

A big thanks to team Kodi.
