Hi guys!
Newbie to the forum, but not so newbie to Kodi/XBMC. My first use was installing it on an original modded Xbox back in the day.
Anyways, onto why I’m here. I’m at a kind of standstill and not sure what is going on or why it is happening.
I’m running Windows 10 and I’ve set up a Homegroup to share media to a Nexus Player(Android STB)
My 2 shares are 2 different external HDD’s; 1 Seagate(G Drive) and 1 WD(F Drive).
My first issue was it was asking for a password and username to access the shares, after using every combination of my M$ account details without any success, I just went to Network and Sharing and disabled the “Require Password” option. Okay, I try again. Nada. So I go to the drive properties of F Drive and go to sharing tab, make sure Everyone has read access, try again, still nothing. I read online on another forum to add Local Service as an instance that has Read Access, do that, and it works. Problem Solved, right?
Well, I could access that drive no problem, did the other drive the same way, no dice. I’ve left the homegroup, recreated it, but I still cant get the G drive to allow access without a password and I’m not sure what I’m overlooking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
