Samba issues with two sources on 19.1 Vero 4k+

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
1

My setup includes a raspberry pi 4 as the server (connected to all the hard drives), a Pi3 and a vero4k+ as clients.
The pi4 and vero4k+ are running 19.1 and the Pi3 is running 18.9.
The Vero 4k+ can play most of the files over SMB but there are two sources that it will not play.
The Vero 4k+ would play these sources under 18.9 but not under 19.1. While I did a fresh install on the Vero 4k+, i copied over the sources, advancedsettings, and password files from before.
The pi3 plays the sources properly.
In looking at the logs, for some reason these files list 127.0.0.1 as the IP for the sources even though the sources.xml file lists the correct IP address for the server.
on the Vero4k+, a few other troubleshooting items:
I’ve switched around the min and max smb in services. no change.
smbclient -L 127.0.0.1 gives connection failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
smbclient -L localhost gives the same response, as well as indicating "unable to initialize message context).
smbclient -L 192.168.0.15 (server’s ip) requests password and then shows all disks including the two from the sources that are not available.

Tried to include logs but can’t access paste.osmc.io for some reason. If it gets working again, please let me know and I’ll upload sanitzed logs.

Any suggestions?
thank you.

thanks Tom. I guess i had an old location.

btw i recognize that you mentioned to me before that the port isn’t needed in the sources list for samba, but i’ve just never changed doing it that way.

Hi,

I can’t reproduce this. Could you please try setting a source again without the port number?

Thanks Tom.

i have a lot of bookmarks associated with these files. if i create a new source and the rescan the files, will the bookmarks still be associated with the correct file (ie the new ones)?

Hi,

Actually at this point, it was just to test. If it works, you should be able to use path substitutions so you don’t need to rescan:

Thanks Tom.

I decided to try one other thing first and it appears to have worked.
in Mysql, the idpath for one of the hard drive files was 9. that path listed the host name instead of an ip address. so i updated the strpath for idpath = 9 to included the ip address instead of the host name, and it worked.
if i run into any problems i’ll update this thread later.
