SMB bug? Why can't it open SMB directories?

Postby vvvvlllllccccc » 29 Nov 2020 04:08

It is not a problem of wrong password. This happens after I have entered the correct credential. It shows a message line at the top: "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://....". It happens with multiple hosts and it happens on all Android devices I have.

Is this a bug? I turned on the log, but the log did not say the details about why it failed (just SMB2 failed messages).

What version are you using? A lot of work has been done for SMB in 3.3.2 (that is currently rolling out).

I was using the last version of VLC at the time of the OP, but I just saw a new version (3.3.2) which had "Samba network fixes" in the "What's new". I updated VLC, and now the problem is gone.
