Hi all, Ive been using Kodi for many years but have had my gear in storage for about 5 years including the HTPC that Kodi runs on.
Since then, Ive read that SMBv1 is no longer supported. I also have added a number of new HDDs to the host machine whilst the machine was in storage.
Upon setting up the old machine and adding the new HDDs I noticed an SMB Preferences Lock message. But this only appeared with certain HDDs, not with all.
Ive followed the official Kodi Wiki for setting up new shares and couldnt get it working so Ive deleted my Kodi install and am starting again but Im still having issues with adding an SMB share.
The issue seems to be an incorrect password. When entering the password for the SMB share, is this the password and username required the same as the ones used to log into the host machine?
I also share an entire drive rather than individual folders as my movies are stored in individual folders with the movie name as the title, is sharing the drive ok for SMBv2?
Im a bit out of my depth here, I havnt had to set up Kodi in well over 10 years and my 76 year old brain isnt computing.
Can someone help with why SMBs arent working please?
