Hi Looun,

 I have made a folder FILM1 with the guide and it shows up in the External section but none of the files are in it.

Is is critical to set up a User/password as I did not do that and left the entries xxxx on the notepad.

try edit file with this command like this:

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p /sdcard/FILM1
mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.0.1/share /mnt/sdcard/FILM1
no password = guest (user without password)

----------------------------------------------------
if not work, you must check with run check_mount.bat

you can also use NFS command like this ,but it's more complicate:

Code: [Select]

mount -o user="nmt",password="1234",nolock,hard,intr,vers=3 -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/share /mnt/sdcard/FILM1

Thanks for you help Looun.

Hey Looun, thanks for your continued assistance on this.

Sorry but I am being a proper newb right now.

Do you want me to edit the IP address to direct to the computer where the hard drives are located and do I edit the share from the entry?

So like this?

mkdir -p /sdcard/FILM1
mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.1.76/FILM1 /mnt/sdcard/FILM1

[looun]

yes, try it.
don't delete the fist 2 line 

Code: [Select]

#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 60;
if not work check

Hi Looun,

 NO joy my end, still showing the folders in Kodi once searching External Storage > SD Card but no files inside.

Is there a way I should be directing the auto mount to the relevant folders?

For example

C://Users/DK/Desktop/FILMS

So I am using windows 8.1 BTW.

Should I not be setting a password on my account that I log onto windows with?

Went through all that again and still no luck.

If you can see the folder but not the files inside it does sound like permissions aren't set correctly in Windows for the share.

I don't have a Windows 8.1 PC here right now but by end of today I'll have had a go at creating step by step instructions. Windows networking often has problems like this.

[woundedgoat]

Thats great stuff, I will keep trying for another day!

I hate quitting.

OK. Took me a while to get it working but I was able to share a folder from a Windows 8.1 PC to a Q10 (Q5 will be same) using Samba by following these instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/176471/how-to-share-files-between-windows-and-linux/

The bit that had me stumped for a while was that both 'permissions' (right click on share - Advanced sharing - Permissions) and 'security' (right click on share - Security) need a user with the name 'Everyone' and with exactly the same permissions (i.e. 'Full control').

Not wanting to sound too much like a Linux bore, but I cannot see why Windows makes such a simple thing so complicated! Maybe Windows 10 will be better, but I doubt it..

Hello Futeko,

Did we can have the samba sharing as i can see already in my computer in Windows 7 and can see the movies.
My question is not to put some new files (movies) in the sharing in the hard drive in the Himedia Q10 4K.

We can see, delete but can't move to smb sharing for example NAS or from my computer to the internal hard drive in the Himedia Q10.

Did someone have the solution for that. Thanks all
