I have a weird problem that’s cropped up in Kodi 17.3 (Titan skin) with not being able to play recorded TV from “Recordings” on any of my 4 LAN clients. No problem when doing the same from my HTPC which is also runnning the MediaPortal 1.15 TV Server. I can play from “Recorded TV” using the MediaPortal client on any of those same machines that run Windows. The recordings play fine once they’ve been scanned into my Kodi library and I play them from TV Shows. Occasionally I want to play something that’s still being recorded and hasn’t been picked up by “Library Auto Update”. I’m running the latest version of TVServerKodi and all of my addons are up-to-date. I tried rolling one of my clients back to Kodi 17.1 but the issue remained.

It looks like the conversion from a local path to UNC is resulting in smb://Home Theater:Password@ getting inserted into the middle of the file path. I understand it showing at the beginning, but the second time doesn’t look right…
Any thoughts?
