OSMC samba network

[mastoul]

Hello, I am user of osmc many years on rpi. Yesterday I recieved my first vero 4k+ and I am thrilled!. I have though an issue connecting with samba to my windows server or other pss. I get a message “operation not permitted”. The same issue i have also with rpi3 with latest version of osmc installed. Older versions (kodi 16) didn’t had this behaviour. Is there something I miss here?

This assumes you have already set up the wired or wireless LAN connections between the server where you store your media an…

Mounting network shares with autofs (alternative to fstab)

This how-to describes how to mount your network shares via autofs. Autofs should be as performant as fstab based mounting but has the advantage that your shares are mounted on demand which also should give you more reliability in case of network interuptions. First install the autofs package sudo apt-get install autofs If you already have mounted your shares already via fstab comment out that line in fstab and reboot. For this how-to we are going to use a directory for each server, if you wa…

Well I am sure that I haven’t touch any network settings and specialy smb settings or versions neither on windows side nor osmc side. I am able to connect to my server from every other pc, mac, ipad etc. Is there something I have to change though?

Well as I wrote above you could try to limit Max Protocol to SMB1 and check if that solves your issue.
