Cannot connect to SMB shares

I just received my Vero 4k+ that is replacing a Raspberry pi3 and I am unable to connect it will not see all my shared folders on my computer through SMB. (Windows 10)

The workgroup folder sees my computer but when I click on it I get an error screen saying ‘Operation not permitted’

I have turned off windows firewall, uninstalled antivirus program but still no luck.

3 Raspberry pi’s and one android based tv running Kodi and have no issues connecting to SMB share from my computer.

Any help would be appreciated

Have a look here first:

You may find just copying your sources.xml from one of the other devices sets you up.

Thanks grahamh but that unfortunately didn’t work.

I was able to successfully transfer my sources.xml over to the Vero. My sources now show up in the Vero but when I attempt to access I get an error screen saying ‘Operation not permitted’ and then when I hit OK I get a remote share screen saying ‘Couldn’t connect to network server’

Can you show us the sources.xml (feel free to remove passwords)?

Shouldn’t passwords be in passwords.xml?

Depends how it’s added.

EDIT: I fixed the formatting for you, and removed some questionable sources.

Try using the IP of the system instead of the name, that may help.

Ok, I tried replacing SCOTT with the ip of my computer 192.168.1.109

Sadly this didn’t work either

Can you check SMB version under Settings -> Services on both Pi and Vero?

Can you check what version of OSMC you are using on your Pi?

We’ll get this working for you – just need a bit more info.

Cheers

Vero is set at SMBv3

I am using Libreelec on my pi and SMB is set to ‘none’

I will try ‘none’ on the Vero and see if that sorts things out

Setting to ‘none’ on the Vero did not work either

A couple of things to try from commend line. (I assume you can ssh in?)

ping -c 4 scott
ping -c 4 192.168.1.109
smbclient --list=192.168.1.109

You will get prompted for a password, try just hitting ENTER.

What am I looking for? I can’t seem to copy the string from putty

I am getting essentially 4 packets sent and 4 packets received with 0% packet loss

That’s 3 different commands. The first 2 pings should show no packet loss. The smbclient command will show info that may give us more ideas of what’s wrong.

-bash: smbclient: command not found

Opps, sorry. You need to install it first:

sudo apt install smbclient

and just answer Y

Not sure what you mean by install it or how to, that may be beyond my limited knowledge of ssh and putty

The first thing we should be requesting is a log via My OSMC; not asking for CLI steps.

I gave you the command to install it.
