Error Invalid argument with SMB and external hdd behind usb hub #1182

Open kilves76 opened 6 years ago

Windows 10 (64bit) pc has an external hdd (ntfs) connected via an usb hub. Kodi thinks of this "Error Invalid argument" and refuses to connect. This happens every time with Kodi Android, but Kodi Windows works just fine, or general smb access from other pc's.

This only happens if there's a usb hub inbetween, drives directly on usb ports work just fine. But it'd be nice to connect several drives on a usb hub.

I've also tried linking (directory symbolic link, junction, shortcut) to the external drive but no success. I've also checked and double checked that sharing and access rights to the external drive are identical to other drives.

Posting here instead of Kodi forums because my android tv box is limited to Kodi v16 .
