Can No Longer Connect to Root File System from Windows Explorer...

1st Official Post

    Hi All

    Since the SMB1/2/3 change in LE, I cannot get to my LE Root File System folder from Windows (XP... yeah, don't get started on that).

    Previous to the SAMBA shakeup, this addition to samba.conf:

    Code
    [Root File System]
path = /
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

    permitted a desktop shortcut like this:

    Code
    "\\192.168.1.170\Root File System\storage\.kodi\temp"

    to get me into the log quickly and efficiently.

    Since the upgrade to LE v8.1.2 beta, I cannot figure out how to achieve this. Yes, I'm using the v4 template provided in "samba.conf.sample", specifying this:

    Code
    [Root File System]
  path = /
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /

    Reading (and re-, re-, re-reading) the "!!! SAMBA / SMB CHANGES !!!" section of the release announcement has not turned the light bulb on for me.

    Is this simple access no longer possible ? Please show me the error of my ways.

    TIA :)
