I have this problem: I connected an external USB my ZTE F-680 and configure it in storage sharing.
IP address of modem-router is 192.168.1.1 and the path to reach the shared folder is //192.168.1.1/samba
From my pc with windows 10 and with my Android 6.0.1 i can reach it without problems and see the files that are inside, but from my Pi3 with osmc I see the disk, but i can’t see the files that are inside the disk (I tried to reach it through smb://). when i connect to my Pi3 by ssh and i do a mount, i can see the disk but de files have a strange name, with ugly caracters (like ???%^^^^^^)
Hello, I have the same problem with Samba.
I only see the fist letter of names of files. The other character are with symbol ‘???’.
Have you found a solution to this problem?
You can try to set your system in UTF8, fixed name issue for me. First check your current setting by making an ssh connection and type locale
If you are already in UTF8 you should have something similar to
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NUMERIC=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=
This was not set as shown on my OSMC, reconfigured by typing dpkg-reconfigure locales followed by a reboot.
