Unable to access SMB in directory channels

[InaudibleDirge]

I'm unable to access SMB when using directory channels. I have those folders on the same network server that all of the other videos are located, but they are not loaded into the Kodi library as they are bumps, commercials, etc.

Just wondering if this is intended or something else.

Known bug. workaround would be use a local dir until I get around to fixing it.

When I try to share my channels with samba, I receive this:

@Steveb1968
On Overlay.py, I add self.sleepTimeValue = 0 to def __init__() of class TVOverlay(xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog). After this, I can be use settings over samba.

It's ok? It's a goodie pratice?

[Steveb1968]

Yea mate that's all good, it's the default setting anyway.
I can add that if you like, plus I'll clean up that setting.

[rafaelvieiras]

I can add that in my next PR! 😄

I think about a roadmap or a TODO.md file, for list things to fix basic bugs and steps to prepare add-on for kodi oficial repository.

[Steveb1968]

Just a txt file is good enough for me. :) And this addon will never be in the Kodi repo!

[rafaelvieiras]

Ok!
😮 Why never? This is a perfect addon for this! Not use piracy! Is simple to use!

[Steveb1968]

The Kodi Repo is Lunatixz's puppy! This is one of my hobbies.. :) I just can't let this addon stop working! :)

A workaround for this is to map your network shares
If you're using Libreelec here is how to do it and in Windows right click your shares and select map drive and assign a drive letter.
