During my migration from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2012, I encountered an issue with Kodi on Raspberry Pi and how it connects to the Win 2012 file share. When accessing the server with a Samba file share instead of a prompt for credentials\u00a0the\u00a0error message \u201cOperation not permitted\u201d is displayed.<\/p>\n

Kodi allows the manual adding of network locations but does not support adding the credentials that are needed to access the location.<\/p>\n

Therefore a bit of tweaking is needed to get access to Windows 2012 shares on Kodi.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The settings files for Kodi differ dependant on the system it is running<\/a>, so its worth visiting the page to make sure the right files are edited, for example the files on a Raspbmc \/ OSMC installation on\u00a0a Raspberry Pi is home\/.kodi\/userdata<\/em>. Connect<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0the command console for the Pi using the default credentials (Raspbmc: pi\/raspberry. OSMC: osmc\/osmc) and navigate to the Userdata folder.<\/p>\n

From here,\u00a0first open the\u00a0sources.xml file, and add the new share, using the previous share a guide of the code syntax.<\/p>\n

\"sources.xml<\/a>
sources.xml file<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next, opening the passwords.xml file and add the credentials for the new share in a similar way.<\/p>\n

Restart Kodi and try accessing the share to see if it works. This method works on both OSMC for Pi and Android installations of Kodi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
