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:
Whether you already have a media sharing system on your network or are setting one up for the first time the options can be bewildering. To stream high-quality video you will want the fastest possible connections. Unfortunately, the easiest systems to set up are also the least efficient so some effort is needed to get the best performance. Here are some recommendations.
This assumes you have already set up the wired or wireless LAN connections between the server where you store your media an…
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?

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.
