"File Exists" error

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

If you not using fstab mounts, then I suggest try changing the smb max protocal to v1 or v3. You can find this under under settings, services, smbclient.

But I would recommend persevering with fstab mounts, this guide should help:

Configuring fstab based Samba share mounts

This tutorial is to help those who are using Samba (also known as CIFS, SMB or Windows Networking). It assumes that you already are sharing media files on a Windows Server or Desktop. Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in SMB client? The Kodi client in current versions (17.x and older) is slow. Using /etc/fstab is faster, and not really that hard to setup. EDIT: 11/1/2019 While improvements were made in Kodi 18.x, using fstab will still be faster. Preparation: You will need to know …

Thanks Tom.
