Path not found or invalid on vero4k

[Jack_Moore]

On my vero4k, I can not add a source. I specified an ip address and that resulted the same. I searched the forums and did not get a match for the error I am seeing - path not found or invalid.

I’ve tried with wifi and ethernet, thinking it was a connection issue.

A little guidance, please

Thanks

I can not add a source

Which protocol is the source using? SMB, nfs, webdav?

[Jack_Moore]

SMB. I have a second NAS that worked at one point. Now it reports “couldn’t connect to network server”.

I’m sure I did something, but I haven’t touched the vero4k in a month. Am now getting back to it.

Thanks.

Well could be a smb version issue.
I think easiest is to use fstab based samba mount as explained in the wiki. Alternatively try to change maximum protocol under settings → Services → SMB Client

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 …

Well, my fault for using SMB when I have UPnP setup on my NAS servers. When I went back and looked at the options, I finally saw it. I was so focused on SMB.

In short - I’m up and running.

Thank you for your help - again.
