Secure SMB connection

[maelor]

 I don't think anyone has mention this yet but Kodi 18 now supports the SECURE SMBv3.

If you are connecting your HiMedia Q10 box to a Windows 10 desktop for file transfer, you can now switch OFF the older and totally  INSECURE SMBv1!!!

On the Windows 10 Desktop:

Open the Control Panel
Click on "Programs.
Click on "Turn Windows features on or off"
Untick "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" & "SMB 1.0/CIFS Server" & "SMB 1.0/CIFS Client"
Click "OK"
Click "Restart now"

Then on the HiMedia Q10 box:

Open Kodi 18.x
Click on "Settings"
Click on "Services"
Click on "SMB Client"
Click on "Minimum protocol version" and select "SMBv3"
Click on "Maximum, protocol version" and select "SMBv3"

Your system will then only work using the SECURE SMBv3 protocol.

I don't know as I don't have a NAS  .

I just use SAMBA to copy DVD rips from my Windows 10 Pro desktop computer to the internal HiMedia Q10 HDD.

Guess this will only work if you're suing KOID's internal Player. If you are using the Wrapper it will still use SMB v.1 to connect ad thus fail. Right?

You have set SMB v.3 on HiMedia in WHAT? In KODI or in that Wrapper, or both? There's no setting for SMB protocol by default in the Settings or in the factory Wrapper. It could be because you're not using the factory, rather that other Wrapper. I guess it won't work with the factory one, only with SMB v.1.

Just for curiosity, if not only for this, why are you using that Wrapper anyway, what's good and better compared to the factory Wrapper?

Set in Kodi (as I stated in the original post!). I have removed the HiMedia wrapper app from the Q10.

I use the alternative wrapper because it has a far better interface than the HiMedia one.

Ok, so it really does work with that other Wrapper and HiMedia Player for SMB v.3? Sorry, but I've I have posted 3x times this question now, and you still didn't give a relevant answer... Cause as far as I know, it won't work with the stock Wrapper.

I give up! There is obviously something going wrong in the translation!

[Mount81]

All you wrote for sure that it works with KODI, but does it work with the Wrapper for HiPlayer???... There's nothing wrong with translation, its your answers that lack relevant information.
