i’ve got a rpi 2b with osmc on it. my old version of osmc was from 2016 and as soon as i updated to a newer version (probably from 2016), my network shares couldn’t be found anymore. so i used the old version… until today - hoping that whatever fix was necessary has been included.
anyway: i updated to the 2017-12 release and since then, when i go to “omsc > videos > files > #some-network-share#”, i get 2 error messages:
“file exists”
“no connection to the network server”
/var/log/samba is empty. and all the other logs in /var/log that are young enough to have logged this error are binary (btmp, wtmp, lastlog).
is this a known error? or how can i give you more input / log-files?
OSMC uses journalctl for logs.
You can provide logs via grab-logs -A and provide the URL here.
Also you should let us know what kind of server provides the shares.
My assumption would be changing the samba protocol in settings - services could fix the problem
→ #logs removed#
(even though it doesn’t feel too well to post my config and logs online)
my samba server runs on win7 x64.
the funny thing is: i’ve read about the samba protocol settings in this board before - but i can’t find it under settings > services > samba (or anywhere else in settings > services).
yes, i get that error after entering a user. i’ve configured my windows shares to accept every user without pw. (i know, i know… )
still, i got a “access denied” error in osmc - even though in my windows event viewer, i see a correct login from that user.

unix_err:‘d’ error : ‘Permission denied’
with protocol v2 i get both of the errors as above.
