Android TV running Kodi cannot access samba share on OSX.
I have a Mac Mini "Mini" - with a smb share "Media".
If I add to smb://MINI/Media on the TV I get.
"Broken Pipe"
"Couldn't retrieve directory information"
On my Ubuntu laptop, I can run a copy of Kodi and add exactly the same share and it works OK.
If I boot the Mac into Windows, (I've setup the share the same way there) - Android TV Kodi can see the files.
Finally, I installed Kodi on my phone, and it behaves exactly the same way as the Android TV.
