I'm running T3CH r29407, just upgraded to the latest stable. I'm connecting to a number of Windows 2003 shares. After rebooting, I always have to re-enter the username and password for the shares. I didn't have this issue before. Is there a setting I have missed?

It might be a workaround but something I always do on my xboxes is put the samba share username/password into advancedsettings.xml.

I'm only seeing a default template for advancedsettings.xml. What is the structure used to define user/pass combinations.

−
<advancedsettings>
−
<audio>
<defaultplayer>paplayer</defaultplayer>
</audio>
−
<video>
<defaultplayer>mplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
−
<cache>
<harddisk>256</harddisk>
</cache>
−
<cacheaudio>
<dvdrom>256</dvdrom>
<internet>256</internet>
<lan>256</lan>
</cacheaudio>
−
<cachedvd>
<dvdrom>2048</dvdrom>
<lan>2048</lan>
</cachedvd>
−
<cacheunknown>
<internet>2048</internet>
</cacheunknown>

<cachevideo>
<dvdrom>1024</dvdrom>

<lan>1024</lan>
</cachevideo>
</advancedsettings>

FTP into you xbox.

xbmc->userdata->sources.xml

Download this to your computer.

Open it and find your sources, something like:

Code:

<video>
    <default pathversion="1"></default>
    <source>
        <name>Movies</name>
        <path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.1.10/Qmultimedia/Movies/</path>
</video>

Add your username and password as such:

Code:

<video>
       <default pathversion="1"></default>
       <source>
          <name>Movies</name>
          <path pathversion="1">[color=red]username:password@[/color]smb://192.168.1.10/Qmultimedia/Movies/</path>
</video>

Then transfer back to the xbox overwriting the old file. Reboot.
Also, what skin are you using? I've found some skins can produce this issue.

You can add the following to your advancedsettings.xml (change as necessary):

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <smb>
        <password>xbox</password>
        <username>xbox</username>
        <workgroup>workgroup</workgroup>
    </smb>
</advancedsettings>

Or you can do as Cranial mentioned and add the username/password to you each of your sources.

Cranial and gabbot, neither worked.

Got it, I put the user/pass backwards in advancedsettings.xml. I expected user to be first in that example without even looking.

Thanks for your help!
