 |
|
Hi.
I'm trying to connect from my android tv to my gentoo samba share.
The share is seen, and i can see all the sub directories and browse them.
but i can see no files.
If i put some .mp4 files, .avi, .jpg
nothing seen.
VLC version on my android-tv: 3.5.3
This is my smb.conf:
| Code: |
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server
server role = standalone server
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.0. 127.
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
min protocol = SMB2
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[public]
path = /home2/samba
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no

Try
| Code: |
rc-service samba stop
chmod 777 /home2/samba
|
Then edit smb.conf
| Code: |
[global]
.
.
map to guest = Bad User
[public]
.
.
guest ok = yes
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777

Still nothing, i did everything you said except that i have systemd and i did
systemctl restart smb
systemctl restart nmbd
i can browse all the directories but there seems to be no files... even tho there are files. I triple checked from my Gentoo machine.
EDIT:
I even tried: chmod -R a+rwX /home2/samba/ |

| If you browse this share using some other SMB client, such as smbclient, are the files present? We need to determine whether Samba is telling all clients that there are no files, or if Samba is telling VLC about files and VLC is declining to show them, perhaps because its filtering rules lead it to hide these as a misguided courtesy. |
