Title: Himedia Q10 Pro Media Center can't find SMB on Windows Server 2019
Post by: dj wurst on November 24, 2019, 03:57:18 PM

I'm trying desperately for days with my Q10 pro to access a Windows share.

It works with the ES File Explorer. Network -> new -> LAN ip-address, enter username and password and I can access the directories.

Unfortunately, nothing works with the Media Center.
I click on LAN, then add share, enter the server ip, directory, account and password. Unfortunately, there is always a "new server error"

As directory, I specify "VIDEO/", as account "Computer name/user name". Is that right with the "/"? Must "//computername" before the directory?
I have already tried a thousand variants.

Would be very grateful for help.

As I know SMB1 on Windows Server 2019 is a challenge to get running
Maybe this help

Code: [Select]

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RejectUnencryptedAccess 0


Code: [Select]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]
"AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:1

For manual add

Tested and working for me on Windows 2019 (10.0.17763)
Enable SMB 1.0/CIFs File Sharing Support.
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/316b/6sdw3c53nzfpyoezg.jpg?size_id=4)

Check SMB log in event viewer.

To access these events:
1. Open Event Viewer and then expand Applications and Services Logs.
2. Expand the Microsoft folder.
3. Expand the Windows folder.
4. Expand the SMBClient or SMBServer folder and then click the channels.

Look on SMBServer/Security error set strong password for Guest and maybe enable to avoid some error.
Manually add your share.
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/d248/mvqn0ykg5nekledzg.jpg?size_id=4)

Look on SMBClient/Security and enable Guest access in SMB2 for get access from Server to HiMedia Box.

Code: [Select]

Configured Registry Value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]
"AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:1

I am very grateful for your help.

I tried everything:
SMB1 installed
insecure guest access enabled
I even reinstalled Windows Server 2019.

And same as before: If I want to add the share in MediaCenter, there is always "new Server error"

And the crazy thing for me is that I can easily access the shared directory via the ES file explorer.
(By the way, if a directory is released on my laptop under Windows 7, everything works fine)
