on my Ubuntu side “smb://osmc-tristram/osmc/” connects just fine, but “smb://osmc-tristram/OSMCexternal/” returns “unable to access location, failed to mount windows share: software caused connection abort”

Samba crashes while trying to play video files in VLC on Windows 10

look for this line in your /etc/samba/smb.conf usershare template share = automount template Change it to: # usershare template share = automount template then sudo systemctl restart samba

Alternatively mount it in Ubuntu via fstab
