Authentication failed

Anyone know why I am getting this error? The read and write permissions are good.

I am trying to set up my Nvidia Shield.

Hi, so you installed the server software onto the Shield?

[amck24 0]

Yes I have installed the apk for the server.

[Luke 42296]

@amck24did you configure authentication for the smb share?

[amck24 0]

How is this done? Sorry I'm new to all this.

[Luke 42296]

It should be part of the dialog that you're showing in your screenshot.

I don't have a login for the hard-drive?

[Luke 42296]

HI, it's not a username and password for the hard drive, it's for the network share. the path you entered is a network path. are you sure that is the right path to your drive?

[amck24 0]

Yes I use the same path on Plex. I can't get my head around this one.

[Luke 42296]

Is the drive on the same machine as the server?

[amck24 0]

Yeah it's plugged into the shield and I have the sever on the shield also.

[Luke 42296]

But where did you get that folder path from?

\\192.168.0.6\shield tv\...

Is that shared over the network?

[amck24 0]

Yes this is the address which I use to transfer media from the PC to the device. 

Paths like storage on emby doesn't open when I click on it on emby so I tried the path above instead, but no luck.

[Luke 42296]

It is a network path though, so what are the network credentials for it?
