I am trying to setup LibreELEC on a Raspi 3 and the one thing I cannot get to workis being able to access file shares on a Win 10 PC. My first attempt was using OSMC on a Raspi 3 but that didn't work hence the move to LibreELEC. Incidentally setting up win10 shares from my Android TV worked first time.
My Win10 PC is setup with password protection off for network sharing. I see that SMB1.0 File sharing support is on. Until very recently the pc had no overall password but I have now added a password, which made no difference to my problem.
From LibreELEC I am entering the full path name smb:\\192.168.X.X\Shared Vid and I get an "Operation Not permitted" error message followed by a "Couldn't retrieve Directory Information" message. If I BROWSE to add the file path the PC name is available so I assume the network and everything is working correctly.
I have tried to add another local account to use for the share but I get "Something went wrong" when I click "I don't have this person's....". This seems odd! Is something broken or not setup correctly?
I assume the problem is associated with the SMB version. If I switch SMB1.0 file support off then I cannot access the other pc's on the network that all have their network sharing password off. Altogether I have 5 machines on the network plus a TV so any changes I make are going to cause quite a bit of work although my suspicion is that I probably need to do it to improve my security.
Any help for a very ignorant win10/Raspi user would be gratefully received.
