Library not building up automatically, playing movies from library dos not work

[thebigblue]

Hi, I have TVos 12.0.1 on Apple TV 4K 32GB. MrMC newest version 3.7-0.

I struggle connecting my Win 10 shares with MrMC.

First of all, on the SMB side, only libdsm finds my shares. Libsmbclient and libsmb2 do not find shares. This may be because I have re-activated SMB1 on my Win 10 1803 server.

When adding shared folders to MrMC library, it only scans some of them, some not at all. It will add the movies from within the un-scanned folders to the library when I manually play them and go to the movie infos. But when accessing this manually added movie in the library and click on "play", nothing happens. The log shows quite some error.

When trying to scan the newly added folder, these log entries get generated:

Through Kodi 17 on a Rapsberry Pi, everything works fine: the database gets built up, the files are accessible/playable both through Library and through Folders view.

Please let me know what I can do to fix these error.

[davilla]

Kodi 17 does not use libdsm. So no comparison there....

interesting that,

non-working:
smb://ajdornbach-srv/Movies 01/Action/A Good Day to Die Hard/A Good Day to Die Hard.ts

working;
smb://AJDORNBACH-SRV/Movies 01/Action/A Good Day to Die Hard/A Good Day to Die Hard.ts

CDSMSession: Auth failed, reason(-1073741715), -1073741715 is 0xC000006D or NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. duh, really helpful libdsm

Would be interesting to see what using libsmbclient does.

[thebigblue]

I have tried out Libsmbclient in MrMC. It does not connect at all to my network, and finds no computers and shares.

[davilla]

you did this by turning off libdsm and libsmb2 ?
was force smb v1 enabled ? did you force quit and restart MrMC ?

[thebigblue]

Hi davilla,

thanks for your support.

I remembered having similar issues with other media players in the past with Windows 10 SMB network sharing - I assume it is because of faulty/outdated smb implementation. I have turned on SMB2 on my Win 10 machine, switched to libsmb2, in MrMC and now it is working - but I needed to manually connect to my shares over the IP of the server - "network discovery" over libsmb2 did not work in my network.

Now my library gets created and updated.

Let's hope it stays like this.

"network discovery" or browse as we call it, is a work in progress. Hope to have it in 3.7.1 testflight soon. It's two parts, server and share point. Server should show up via zero config browsing. It's the share point that missing.

libsmb2 (right now) requires adding a 'network source', specifying IP (not name), username, password and share name.
