I have all my HDDs mapped as network drives on other PCs in the house so it can easily be accessed and files transferred to it.
After migrating from the 4K+ to the V I figured everything should work since I’m not changing the name from osmc or any credentials, but no luck.
Did some digging around on the V and looking under My OSMC / Services I only see SSH but no SMB.
What am I missing here?
On my Vero 4K+ yes, on the V no.
I tried to command line it:
osmc@VeroV:~$ sudo apt install samba

Nov 19 02:53:08 VeroV systemd[1]: Starting Samba SMB Daemon...
Nov 19 02:53:09 VeroV systemd[1]: Started Samba SMB Daemon.
Still not there.
Okay, I went to the app store (shopping cart icon) and installed it again.
Showed up and running in SSH but still couldn’t connect to it.
Did a reboot and now it’s working!
A reboot is sometimes needed for Windows clients to pick it up. I’m not sure why.
