Hi,
Would love some help.
I have a file server that I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Problem is, it broke my smb share to 2 Dune Media players and another PC running XBMC on the Openelec platform. I have spent days scouring forums for information and tried every reg hack and security/sharing fix I found but to no avail. I have since refreshed windows 8.1. I did however just have a breakthrough.
The problem is that the 3 devices above all worked great before the update, now I'm getting errors when ever I try to access a file on the smb share. On my Windows 8.1 file server I have am running storage spaces with about 8 discs amounting to about 16TB of storage, plus an SSD with the operating system. What I just discovered is that if I share a folder on the C drive, it can be scanned and accessed from any of the media players. Therefore it's only the 'storage space' drive that won't authenticate an smb client.
Thanks
Allan Phillips
