Can't add SMB sources on OSMC

Hello,

I noted an issue in OSMC after last nights update.

My previously working Windows Server shares suddenly wouldn’t open, error was “Network Timeout” and “Server Connection Timed Out”

My solution was two fold:

1.) I cleared the information in /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/passwords.xml file which stores passwords for OSMC/SMB thinking that would fix it and allow me to reenter my SMB credentials but no Joy.

2.) I recreated my SMB connections manually by entering the path directly (not using browse feature) such as:

smb://ServerName/ShareName/Media/Video/TV
smb://ServerName/ShareName/Media/Video/Movies

Once I entered this and clicked Ok in OSMC I was prompted for User/Passwords which worked fine both ways (I could use DOMAIN/Username or just Username as Password, both were fine).

So yes I got this configured however, it seems that for the saved Server I could no longer configure a password / username which would work at the server level (Save credentials for the entire server) after the most recent update (Build 08-07-2015).

So everything is working fine now, even though I had to recreate my Library and such.

All the information I could locate last night (this morning) regarding this suggested the most reliable way was to just create multiple manual mappings or shares and enter user/password for each of them.

Hope this helps you or others sort out issues with SMB sharing on OSMC when you encounter them.
