CBers 6772 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 With SMB1 disabled? Is that the setting under Storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 no sorry not on the Shield - but on your pc/server in windows - smb1 has a few "issues" and i have uninstalled it from my windows machines (apart from my laptop which still works with the shield) i suspect the shield only has smb1 - so cannot be seen or connected to by a pc without smb1 The shield can see the windows machines though to map a share 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 surprised the shield only works with SMB1 considering how main stream the shield is and how old SMB1 is. i have a few small NAS boxes which only support SMB1, it sux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilhelmStroker 96 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yup the Shield only supports SMB1, they're planning on adding support for higher versions `later' and in the meantime are recommending to re-enable SMB1...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks but as SMB1 is a security risk - enabling it is not a valid option also i see that Plex has provided the smb1 code to Nvidia - which would explain why i could not get the shield to give me a password (for the smb connection) initially as i had disabled plex on my shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilhelmStroker 96 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) I agree with you, smb1 is extremely insecure so nvidea's advice is irresponsible to say the least. They should just add it, Googles smb client supports it... Edited February 8, 2018 by WilhelmStroker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Most major Linux distros disable smb1 by default because of the gaping security holes in it... this is really surprising. Can you not root the shield and mount natively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 i could - but cant be A$$'d with messing with that - it should just work out of the box - and not need a plex addon to work with smb1 the only reason i looked into it was to get a screenshot or two off the shield - and i thought accessing the shield directly was the easy choice...... actually the easy choice is probably use a usb thumb drive - so 2005!

CBers 6772 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I access my Shield from my Windows 10 PC. I do it to grab screenshots to post here if/when I have a problem with the Emby ATV app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Don't suppose anyone's got a workaround for this? Mine's being delivered today after deciding it was the only viable box to replace my ageing htpc. SMB1 is absolutely not an option for me, so I'm hoping someone's figured out how to get native mounting working with a rooted device - either smb or nfs would do the trick, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Welcome to the Shield Family No i have not found a way - not looked at it again as not had the need If you do find a way please let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Seems the kernel doesn't have cifs support and the nfs kernel driver is limited to nfsv3, a lot of time wasted. Ended up running a second instance of samba in a docker container on a virtual interface, it only has access to directories that I consider public. From what I hear Google is bringing smb3 support natively to Android 8, so hopefully when it lands I can dispose of the container. Gotta say I'm loving this box: Kodi with the Emby addon works flawlessly. Retroarch set up to access my ROM collection directly from my server. Have home shortcuts to Netflix, Amazon, BBC Android apps directly in Kodi. Only things I'm not loving at the moment: The remote, that bloody capactitive volume slider - way way too sensitive! Also sometimes disconnects and I can't bring it back up, without waiting 5 mins or so. I wish there was a way to use the "dim" screensaver in Kodi without disabling the Android system screensaver. When the system screensaver is activated any currently paused video in Kodi, just stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 yes the volume slider is a pain mine do not disconnect - getting any low battery warnings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 yes the volume slider is a pain mine do not disconnect - getting any low battery warnings? No the battery level reported in the settings panel, is "good" . The disconnect seems to be predominantly when interchanging between the controller and remote (the former I tend to prefer for text entry) - I literally have to wait 5 mins or so to be able to use the remote again.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 @@dcrdev - have a look at the andoid X-plorer app i have it on one of my Shields (with the plex smb1 app disabled) and can connect to my QNAP(smb3) with no issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yeah the issue stemmed from me wanting to mount it natively as I have a rather large rom collection so Storage Server + RetroArch = Awesomeness. Xplorer would require me to copy these roms to the device manually and some of these are several gigs in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
