Problem: Samba setup.....Idiot guide required??

@Tonewheelkev 

I was assuming you wanted to transfer files to your moOde player. 

The first time the Windows File Explorer tries to mount one of your moOde Samba (SMB) shares it asks for login credentials. I'm not at my Win10 system at the moment and I can't recall the exact nature of this ask but you want to mount the share as "guest" with no password (I either just select connect or enter guest and select connect, I don't recall which.). Now you should be able to edit the contents of the share from Windows [1].

An alternative to all this is to work from the Windows command line and use the "net" command to mount network shares.

NOTE - File Explorer remembers past connections. Once you enter credentials, even wrong ones, it's damn hard to make Windows forget them and start fresh. You'll see all past connections in the Folder pulldown menu in "map network drive...." There's plenty of posts about this to be found on the Internet.

Regards,
Kent


[1] a good argument for not enabling moOde's sharing service if your player is accessible by others on your LAN.
