Hello,
I have a setup of OSMC running on a RPi 3 with a shared database with kodi running on my windows maschine. Both have sources defined for a smb share (running on my TrueNAS if that matters).
I used to have the shares and the mysql server on another windows maschine, but this one is very outdated. On the old setup it worked without problems, but on the new one I can only play videos when on my windows kodi.
I changed the SQL server in advancedsettings.xml and changed the shares in OSMC gui. I can also navigate in the files tab and even start video files there (they play just fine). But in the library mode for movies or tv shows when I want to start it says âfile not found, delete it from library?â
Is there a known problem like this or has anyone a suggestion how to find the reason for that behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Anduril
Are you sure both the machines are able to use the same file path? If you bring up the information window of a library item and hover over the ârefreshâ option what file path is displayed?
yes I am sure both use the same path. I donât know what ârefreshâ you mean. I use the Amber skin and there is a path information beneath genre, author and so on. Both show âSMB://FREENAS/DATEN/âŚâ.
Well starting point would be to upload logs.

It says permission denied, but later it plays that videoâŚ
Full logs uploaded via My OSMC would have been a lot more helpful but the âPermission deniedâ shown above tells me that the first step would be for you to look at ~/.kodi/userdata/passwords.xml and make sure that it has working credentials for that share. If this is working on another Kodi box you can use its passwords.xml for reference (or just copy it over to this machine).

I uploaded the logs as asked for. I found a line in the kodi.log part where it says
2021-02-01 19:32:08.172 T:1539219680 ERROR: Load - Unable to load: special://profile/passwords.xml, Line 21
but I donât know whyâŚ
Here is also the .kodi/userdata/passwords.xml (without user:password of course)
<passwords>

Thanks in advance for any kind of help
I was also just wondering about the message of the old mysql version. I think this can safely be ignored, as it is a remnant of my old setup. Up to know I only ported the video db to my new mariadb, the music db is still on my old pc with the old mysql version. This will be shut down when the new on works fine.
Also in addition: the entry IP, USER and PASSWORD are values changed by me before upload, as the log uploader did not sanitized all passwords.
The next line in the log says:
Error reading end tag.
It might be a copy/paste problem but for each <to pathversion="1"> tag there needs to be a </to> end tag, so these lines are incorrectly missing the end tags:
<to pathversion="1">smb://USER:PASSWORD@Freenas/Daten/Filme/allgemein<$
...
<to pathversion="1">smb://USER:PASSWORD@Freenas/Daten/Filme/Serien<$
...
<to pathversion="1">smb://USER:PASSWORD@Freenas/Daten/Filme/M rchen/Neuverfilmungen$
What you posted is only 18 lines so I would recommend you take a look at line 21. I think if Kodi find any error in an xml file it doesnât load the entire file so just one error in that file would break all credentials on Kodi paths.
Hey darwindesign,
you were right. There was a copy/paste typo with missing tags in the passwords.xml. I fixed this, but still it does not work. I reuploaded the logfiles https://paste.osmc.tv/ibagiruceb
I donât see any problems with the passwords.xml file any more, but also no other problem catching my eyeâŚ
You could try I settings>services>SMB client> and enable the âMitigate MTU issues with SMBv2â option
As it seems connection is falling back to SMB2

If the mitigate MTU suggestion doesnât do it turn on debug logging and try to play something. In the log you should see a notice about opening a file like
smb://machine/path/name.ext
and then you should see a second where it is inserting the credentials such as
smb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@machine/path/name.ext
which should confirm if that file is actually inserting credentials for the path your using.
I donât find the option âMitigate MTU issues with SMBv2â anywhere⌠I can only select the min and max SMB version to be used.
Also with the logs Iâm still struggeling. I canât get them to show entries for smb when starting playback.
I see 2021-02-03 21:03:50.737 T:1916494768 DEBUG: OnClick called on 'videodb://inprogresstvshows/211/-2/10124?season=-2&tvshowid=211' but file doesn't exist (10124 beeing the database ID of the episode), but nothing smb near that line. Playing the file later through videosâ>files logged this: 2021-02-03 21:35:06.612 T:1916494768 NOTICE: VideoPlayer::OpenFile: smb://Freenas/Daten/Filme/Serien/Navy CIS/Staffel 16/Navy.CIS.S16E03.Abgelehnt /navy.cis.s15e03.mkv without any error near that lineâŚ
May need to enable expert level in Settings - System
Sorry, the Mitigate MTU option is only relevant to the Vero and your using a RPi. If your not seeing the credentials getting added with debug logging then there is probably still something wrong with your passwords.xml even if it isnât throwing an error. I would suggest to either take a very hard look at the file (you can use this how-to for reference on what that file is doing), ditch your current one on this machine and replace it either with making a new network path in Kodi or just copying that file from your working machine (it doesnât matter if it is on another platform), or else you would have to give us a pastebin of the exact file that had only the credentials replaced and no other edits so we could have a shot at spotting the issue.
Generally speaking it doesnât take much of a mistake to break an XML file in Kodi. For example I was having an issue with a keymap I was working on the other day and it took me a half hour before I figured out it wasnât working because I had accidently inserted two spaces instead of one between a key id and its modifier, and that was enough to make it not work.
well I kind of circumvented it. I tried a fresh install and it seems to work. I added the password in the gui and I can use the media database without problems. Only thing is that I have to redo all my settings, but thatâs only a matter of timeâŚ
