Comment 55 for bug 1872476

@paelzer I'm here because I'm running into the same issue. Server and client are running Samba version 4.11.6-Ubuntu.

smbstatus shows SMB3 for the protocol.

Ubuntu client mounts Ubuntu server share via SMB via fstab. Kodi client returns the following errors:

2020-12-08 12:56:45.868 T:140052030023424 ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://192.168.1.17/media/movies/4K/Resident.Evil.Extinction.2007.2160p.UHD.BluRay.x265-FLAME/Resident.Evil.Extinction.2007.2160p.UHD.BluRay.x265-FLAME.nfo-orig'
