Ok, here we go:
I got two Pi 2’s, one of them still works and can access the shares on my Win 8.1. The other one got screwed up when i was trying to get iStream to work and it ended up with a clean install of OSMC, so now i can’t add the shares back.
I find the WORKGROUP and i can see all the folders shared, but when i try to add them i have to type in login/pass, so i typed them in but it seems like it’s the wrong login and/or password!?
Is something messed up with Kodi/OSMC or is it really my login that’s wrong? If so, how do i check what login and password i have?
Sorry, but i’m extremely tired… hope this makes any sense =(
That guide tells me to create a homegroup (Windows 7 method, that’s supposed to work on 8.1 also), and that has never been needed for me before (and still works on my other raspberry pi 2 with OSMC). The Windows 8.1 method is not working either. =/
What login/pass are you typing in here?
Also you mentioned one of your two Pi’s is still working. So let’s compare any package differences between the two installations. Post the URL of dpkg -l | paste-log from each machine
It’s been a long time since i shared these directorys, but i’m guessing it’s either passwordprotected shares OR any adminusers login/pass from that 8.1-machine? I don’t know where on the Win 8.1 computer i should check to see this… -noob-
Post the URL of… ok, how do i do this?
Both Pi’s have the latest OSMC, with the same addons.
Update: I have installed Kodi on my androidphone and tried to access the shares, but i can’t get thru the login there either…
Login into OSMC with ssh and execute the commands i posted.
Details how to access OSMC via command line locally or via ssh can be found here: Accessing the command line - General - OSMC
While I believe they are the same something is still odd if one work and one doesn’t.
Well if you want to connect you at least should know how to connect to it
Well, the strange thing is that i have done this a million times before! Connected to my shares… but now it’s not working, because i have to type in a password. I have (had!?) a simple login, like XBMC / XBMC on all shares. Something has changed, without my knowledge. I don’t even know how to change this password in windows? =(
Is it possible to just copy a file from the working Pi that holds the shares and passwords to the non-working one?
Damn, i really feel like grandma now… sorry
I have tried to share it to a temporary user called admin (with the same password). When i got to this “Lock preferences for smb” i wrote user and password admin/admin
I have also tried to use my windows login (mail and password). Tried to share with EVERYONE, full permissions, but i can’t get pass this login box! GAH =(
