    Older media player can't connect to windows 10 shares


    Hi,

    I recently got a new windows 10 PC. I setup file sharing (using a PW) and I am able to login and access the folder from my
    windows 7 PC and my newer nvidia shield media player. However, on my older neotv550 media player, I can't connect.
    Both media players can access windows 7 shares with no problem.

    Any advice? Thanks!!

    :)

    Welcome to Ten Forums ichipmaker.

    A media player that old almost certainly requires SMB1. On a W10 PC you would have to enable 'SMB 1.0/CIFS Server' in Windows Features for it to be able to connect. SMB1 is disabled by default in W10 because it is a very old protocol and may be a security risk.

    Turn Windows Features On or Off in Windows 10
