I have OSMC on a Raspberry and my shared videos are on a HD of my macMini (El Capitan). That works well for years.
I now want to connect a MacBookPro with High Sierra to OSMC. It has the same settings in the Shares tab, but I cannot get a connection.
I first tried from the OSMC via TV. I can enter the IP and a name for the mbp, but it says:
Couldn’t retrieve directory information…
I then opend the OSMC from my other macbokpro in terminal. I can ping and ssh the mini and the mbp from within OSMC.
I opened the sources.xml-file and found the entries for the mini and the mbp in the
<source>
<name>mini</name>
<path pathversion="1">zeroconf://_smb._tcp.%40local%40minihome/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>
mbp:(user is mbp15home):
<source>
<name>mbp15</name>
<path pathversion="1">zeroconf://_smb._tcp.%40local%40mbp15home/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>
Same result with a mbp with MacOS Big Sur.
Why does the connection fail?
