I install a nightly every few weeks and installed the Aug 5 build of 14.0 earlier today. When trying to access video directories on my Linux NAS over SMB, I now get the "invalid argument" error in both the UI and in xbmc.log. No folder permissions have changed though I have added video files. I've even tried the IP address instead of the system name to no benefit.

ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://192.168.1.201/Volume_1/Videos/_English'
unix_err:'16' error : 'Invalid argument'

Should I try loading a previous version of XBMC?

Another SMB source with only 32 directories in the parent directory loads fine.

Is there a limit to the number of directories, each representing a movie, that can be placed under a single directory? The failing one now has 1363.

For reasons I don't understand, the access problems have gone away. I did not knowingly change anything.

Same error for me:

Code:

INFO: SMBFile->Open: Unable to open file : 'smb://ben-laptop/completed/Movies/*.mkv'
                                            unix_err:'16' error : 'Invalid argument'

Any idea how fix it?

Regards.

*.mkv is not a valid filename
