nothing pops up on google

What version of libsmb2 does the latest version of MrMC use?

so one interesting tidbit I discovered...in kodi 18.5 for the smb client options there is a setting for minimum and maximum protocol version, which can be none, smb1, smb2, or smb3.

I found that unless the maximum protocol version is set to either smb2 or smb3, it will not connect to a Windows 8.1 smb2/3 share (smb1 is disabled on the windows machine). It doesn't matter what the minimum protocol version is set to. However, in MrMC there is no such setting exposed, perhaps if that setting could be changed, this could help fix this issue? From what i gather Kodi is also using libsmb2

kodi uses libsmbclient (gplv3 version), they might also have libsmb2 (similar to ours).

For us, https://github.com/MrMC/libsmb2/commits/mrmc-1.0.0-3
libsmbclient -> smb1
libdsm -> smb1
libsmb2 -> smb2, smb3.


In a future MrMC, libsmbclient will vanish leaving libdsm for smb1 and libsmb2 for smb2/3. The UI interface will get re-worked to be smb version choice rather than lib name choice.
