V8 Golden unable to connect to media server on LAN
My V8 Golden cannot find SMB (CIFS) or NFS media shares that are hosted on my local network. Is a configuration guide available? There's not much configuration info in the user manual.

SAMBA and SMB are the same protocol. The NAS SMB/Samba shares are visible to other PCs and devices on my network. V* Golden, however, does not see any of the devices that are present on my network. The question is how do I configure the V8 Golden to see any of the network devices?eumesmo wrote:I've mine connected to my NAS via SAMBA, if it's a windows 10 machine then samba is version 3, i think you will have to change samba settings on windows to allow lower security connections.vc2 wrote:My V8 Golden cannot find SMB (CIFS) or NFS media shares that are hosted on my local network.

V* Golden doesn't appear to support SMB/Samba or NFS network protocols. Is this really the case?

My connection is hard wired - not using WiFi.eumesmo wrote:Don't know if V8 golden searches for any shares, you must input the IP address and name of share, i will look into it as I get home, but i have static ip on my NAS and if i remember right i have input the ip address and share name on the config.vc2 wrote:SAMBA and SMB are the same protocol.

If your V8 golden is connect via wifi your router could be blocking discovery of devices over wifi.

What address syntax should I use to provide the SMB Share to the V8 Golden?
Is this correct? SMB://192.168.1.2/Media or NFS://192.168.1.2/Media
I've played around, but nothing seems to work. Is there a tutorial or white paper that covers network shares with some examples?
