andcbii 12 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I've got Emby running on my Synology NAS. I have Kodi on multiple windows and Android devices working with the Emby plug in. I can not get the Kodi Plugin working on wife's Mac. Here are my settings. Path Substitution in Emby: Kodi can connect to the SMB share: But i keep getting this error: The path in the error looks correct. I don't know why Kodi can navigate to folders, but when the addon does the scan it can not connect. My knowledge on Macs is 0 so I've got no idea where to even start. If it's not obvious I'm trying to use direct paths. Edited October 4, 2017 by andcbii
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Kodi > addons > install from zip. Navigate to the folder via smb, does Kodi have access? Does the path match?
andcbii 12 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) quick update, i can manually add the smb share by going to "add network location" on kodi. If i go direclty to "Windows Network (SMB)" i keep getting the error, "Error 2: share not available". I should have mentioned i'm on Kodi 17.4. The Mac is V 10.11.6 Edited October 4, 2017 by andcbii
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) What do you mean by go directly to Windows Network (SMB)? What was the previous screenshot of if not you accessing smb that way? Is it always the same title referred in the error, or is it different every time? Edited October 4, 2017 by Angelblue05
andcbii 12 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 So, if you look at the attached file, If I try to use the highlighted option i get the error, "Error 2: Share not available". If i simply go to the bottom and use "Add netlocation..." then i'm able to manually type in the name of the server and connect using SMB. I don't know why one way works and the other doesn't. 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Is your server located on windows? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 5, 2017 by Angelblue05
andcbii 12 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Ok, so i was playing with this some more... It seems like changing the path substitution from "rackstation" to "Rackstation" with a capital "R" fixed the issue. Edited October 5, 2017 by andcbii 1

andcbii 12 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 yes. I had the path substitution in Emby as //rackstation/movies updating to //Rackstation/movie seems to have fixed everything. 1
