jnheinz 17 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, I was having troubles doing a direct play from Emby using Kodi. The direct play is coming from 10.0.0.253, so I used 10.0.0.253 as the server name in the network credentials wizard. Username I tried just the username and domain\username with the password (contains specials). No luck. I think one thing I forgot to do was restart Kodi. Is there a defined username format for Windows domains? Usually it is the username, domain\username or username@domain.xyz. TYIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The windows credentials are added as smb://{user}:{pass}@{hostname}/ If you are uncertain, you can try to navigate to your content via addons > install from zip. Kodi should prompt you for your windows account credentials. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnheinz 17 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ok, thanks. I will give both of the above suggestions a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnheinz 17 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 So what exactly is the syntax for a domain user account in Emby/Kodi? I ended up creating a local user that worked just fine, so clearly I have a syntax problem with the username (or password is too complex). smb://{user}:{pass}@{hostname}/ Where does the domain go when asked for the username?

mellomade 140 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 You don't need the domain. Just enter this way: hostname: IP address user: username password: password Just make sure you don't have any spaces in your user name - I ran into issues with that many iterations ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Otherwise, try navigating like I mentioned. It's usually easier if you don't know your network info. Go to settings > addons > install from zip > just navigate to your content. Does Kodi prompt you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
