Please help me to adjust settings for SMB connection OSMC to Windows

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

I suggest having a read through of this guide as well:

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 …

I think you just need to add the vers= flag to fstab entry, Suggest try vers=3.0 or vers=2.1

Also why is the credential file in /root? May be better in /home/osmc

Thanks Tom.
