Quote:A little bit of info.
Microsoft has made some Credential Manager changes over the last few years which required users with a live Microsoft account to login with their Microsoft account details when accessing network shares.

This means that instead of using the traditional username and password to access network shares, you would use the Microsoft account email address and password.

Nirsoft Network Password Recovery has made it easy to sort this out if you are having issues. If you run the program and right click on a Credential and click "Save Selected Item", you can see the full details of your Credential in a text file. Older Windows 10 installations made prior to the changes will have LegacyGeneric beside the Item Name.

Back to Kodi and SMB shares. To make the share work, you need to use the legacy login username, which is the Credential filename or if you browse your C: drive.

Yep. You have jumped ahead too far. The music library is different to the video library. You need to scan your music files first so the embedded tags are read. This is what creates the music library. Scraping is just a bit of cream on top....

It's probably best you follow that guide in the right hand blue box.

Can you now see all your music in the library? From the main menu, select Artists or Albums or Songs.

Do I have to scrape all the artists and albums again. It takes quite a while.

It might give you what you want.

So you want that?

Maybe @black_eagle or @DaveBlake could help out. I am not that great with nodes.

I just tested the node in that link and it does not seem to work in v18.
