drewdenman 4 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 .28a Kodi Emby Addon 17.6 Kodi version Latest Nvidia Shield version Log File One of my Nvidia Shields is getting errors in the log above. Settings are the same across all my Shields at home, but only this one is giving me errors, and I can't figure out why.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Check the server address it's testing in your log, is it correct?
drewdenman 4 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 Check the server address it's testing in your log, is it correct? Yep, IP is correct for my server, and IP works on other Shields as well, just not this one.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Is the shield on the same network as your server? It's not an issue with the add-on itself, the add-on can't reach your server from that device. Do you see any requests in your server log, you can search using the device id I believe.
drewdenman 4 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 Yep. Same network. The shield connects to the internet just find outside the network as well (connects to youtube, playstation vue, etc). It's hardwired to the same switch as the server and other shields.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Ok well do you see any requests coming in from the device in the server log?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Are you able to provide a log from a working shield? Maybe we'll spot the difference. Or are you able to install embycon to see if it's able to connect to your server?

Or are you able to install embycon to see if it's able to connect to your server? Let me get back to you. It looks like its not reaching the server and I need to figure out why, even though that shield can reach the internet. (because I can't see a request in the server log) Here is a log from a working Shield. Edited October 9, 2018 by drewdenman 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Unfortunately, nothing that sticks out from the working log.

It looks like its not reaching the server and I need to figure out why, even though that shield can reach the internet. (because I can't see a request in the server log) Here is a log from a working Shield. Unfortunately, nothing that sticks out from the working log. Check the following bolded text in passwords.xml on the Non-working SHIELD to see if it matches the path conversion pasted below. ( Edit bold accordingly and pay attention to the following symbols contained within the fields: : and // and @ as well as / ): ********************* <passwords> <path> <from pathversion="1">smb://YOUR-SERVER-NAME/</from> <to pathversion="1">smb://YOUR-USER:YOUR-PASSWORD@YOUR-SERVER-NAME/</to> </path> <path> <from pathversion="1">smb://YOUR-SERVER-IP/</from> <to pathversion="1">smb://YOUR-USER:YOUR-PASSWORD@YOUR-SERVER-IP/</to> </path> </passwords> *********************** The above file is located in the following path: Shield>internal>Android>data>org.xbmc.kodi>files>.kodi>userdata>passwords.xml I'm suggeting this because when you get prompted to enter your server in the addon pop-up from within Kodi, it may have occured an issue and the credentials were incorrectly registered. I had a similar issue occurring in one of my shields and had to manually copy a working .xml and edit it accordingly. Edited October 9, 2018 by djhifi
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 The add-on doesn't generate credentials with 3.1.x anymore. But could have a lingering file remaining from the stable version. But the error is log is that it can't reach the server when trying to verify the server information. If you do find the issue, keep me posted. Maybe try to delete the data.txt and data.json. And try to re-authenticate. 1

And try to re-authenticate. Really? So should I delete the passwords.xml? I wasnt aware of that but the issue i've described is from before 3.1.X indeed
Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) I just find it's better to go via the Kodi interface because of the issue you described. It was a good idea in theory but caused more troubleshooting than anything else. You can keep or remove it, Kodi will recreate it if it needs it, but you'll need to enter your credentials again the next time Kodi accesses your shares. Edited October 9, 2018 by Angelblue05 1
Solution drewdenman 4 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Solution Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Turned out the issue was a crimped ethernet cable. Weird that I could connect to the internet and outside my network, but couldn't access the server on the same network. Replaced my 1 ft cables with 2 ft cables and that fixed the issue!

Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Thanks for letting us know what ended up causing the issue. Mystery solved.
