Hi all
I have been having such a nightmare sharing folders from windows to CoreELEC using SMB. I have followed all the guides as I created a user with a user/password in windows then shared the folders with that user. Now using kodi in windows to windows is fine as I used this for 20 years as you can add 32 folders as I have 16 drives and each drive contains 2 folders one movies and one tv shows which are sheared in a total of 32 shared main root folders
Now I upgraded to a minix box with coreELEC and have been pulling my hair out because this is what happens
1. I add each movie folder in file manager with the user and password no problem, so I have 16 folders (movies server storage 1 to movies server storage 16)
2. I add each TV folder in file manager with the user and password no problem, so I have 16 folders (TV Shows server storage 1 to TV Shows server storage 16)
In total 32 root folders shared.
Now the only 19 folders will work the other 13 folders keep asking for user name and password the only way to get them to work is to remove them and add them back but the problem with this is once I do that another 13 folders that where already added now do not work and now they ask for user name and password
It seems windows and CoreELEC do not support more than 19 root folders added as SMB shares but windows to windows does as I used that for years.
Is this a bug or a limit of how CoreELEC can support root folders.
Front end using minix and latest nightly kodi and windows 7 as the server.
Hope you can help as I think maybe know one has added more than 16 drives with 32 root folders to share but there does seem to be a 19 root folder limit or bug as windows supports more than this
I have even tried the old way of adding folders using windows SMB in the videos and that has the same problem.
Thanks for any help
