Hi,
First of all, how can I access the internal files of the Vero (in particular keymap and advancedsettings)?
Second, probably connected to that, but how can I copy/move/delete files to the Vero, or a HDD connected to it, from my laptop (Win 10)?
I downloaded Samba from the OSMC App Store, but now what?
Sorry for the very dumb questions, but I have 0 experience with Linux or networking in general. Read through other Samba/SMB threads but they went way over my head.
Easiest is to login via ssh. The files are located at /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/
This Wiki should help
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…
SSH for control and using WinSCP for transferring Config/addons would be my bet, I wouldn’t use WinSCP for transferring media files though
Thanks a lot guys, could set things up for now and I guess they work. Have only tried SMB v1 for now and will try to get something more secure going later.
However, file transfers seem really slow. Averaging between 1 and 2 MB/s to copy a file to the HDD attached to the Vero. Have a Gbit router set up and the Vero connected to it by Ethernet.
Check your network speed.
Sometimes it is important to check the network performance between your OSMC Device and the device providing your media (NAS, Server, PC). Especially when you are connected via wireless the throughput variations can harm you viewing experience.
This short How To should give you the required information how to install iperf3 and how to run the respective tests. When doing these tests it is suggested to have a simple setup (single switch between Sender and Receiver and avoid other traffic on the …
Tried what you suggested. This is what I’m getting over WiFI:
Last login: Thu Feb 7 10:36:33 2019 from 192.168.0.14
osmc@osmc:~$ iperf3 -c 192.168.0.14
And this over Ethernet:
Connecting to host 192.168.0.21, port 5201
osmc@osmc:~$ iperf3 -c 192.168.0.21
Well that would explain your low Samba results as you only get 16 Mbit.
But didn’t you wrote
So I am wondering why you now test via wifi?
Tried both just out of curiosity and to see if it is possible to go wireless in the future.
So what are the iperf3 values for wired? As my understanding is that was your first topic on Samba 1-2 Mbyte?
I posted them above as well. They weren’t great either:

And this over Ethernet:
Connecting to host 192.168.0.21, port 5201
osmc@osmc:~$ iperf3 -c 192.168.0.21
Well 30 MBit is obviously indicating something wrong.
Any pointers? Cause I know basically nothing about networking.
Tried factory resetting the router, did nothing. Checked my cables and they are cat6. So for wired connection, I have no idea what to do.
Also tried the iperf3 with another PC as well as with my smartphone and the results are about the same
What machine are you testing against? Do you have others to test with?
My PC, my gfs laptop and my smartphone so far.

My PC, my gfs laptop
Can you get both of them connect wired and test between them?
I tried that and got around 90-95Mbits, but figured out why it was so low. Seems like my gfs laptop maxes out at 100Mbits. So I suppose those numbers are realistic.
Next step is to try and get my hands on another router somehow. That must be the source of the problem then, right?
Well if the device only supports 100 Mbit than that is expected.
Well hard to say without knowing all the devices capabilities but gut feel tells something is off there.
Will try that next then.
