Windows 10: only one usb drive not being able to share to xtreamer mediastreamer

hi,
I am using windows 10 home (64bit) since a week after official realease (, upgraded from win8.1)
I have quite a few internal and external (usb) harddrives attached and share them via windows-shares (samba) to my xtreamer mk1 media player box. This works fine on most drives.
Some didn't work at first but i got that right with (re)editing permissions to "everyone" (read+write). also edited the security tab owner setting, whan tat setting was wrong. Everything but ONE usb drive (in my set-up it is the L-drive) is now sharable to my xtreamer box. The L-drive persistently does not let itself be shared, even though i have repeated all the steps that got the other drives sharable.
(sharing wizard & advanced sharing w/ permissions, same ownership as the working drives, edited to my win10 ms user account, share to 'everyone' with read and write permissions etc etc)

Nothing helps, this particular L usb drive is seen in xtreamer list of network media shares but cannot access, it asks for username and password and fills in 'guest' as user.
*(I have set password protected sharing to OFF.)
I tried logging on with both fields blank, with 'guest' and my win password, with win ms accountname and password, with only 'guest' and blank password. - nothin helps, i get a consistent "logon fail" and i cannot access this particular drive from xtreamer box.

It is not my most important drive for wanting to share on the xtreamer media player box , but i still want to be able to acccess it via shares.

Am i missing some vital setting or permission ?
Plse help....,


:)

 

Not able to run ONE (and ONLY ONE) .exe file

I run the program with the shortcut or directly from the directory is the same result: nothing happens.

And no I do not receive an error message.



If I use "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SysinternalsSuite \ Procmon.exe" "(from" Sysinternals Suite ") I see the cooking program but nothing happens.



I uninstalled the program and I downloaded it again on the site. Then I reinstalled. Always the same problem: the .exe file does not open the cooking software.



Nothing happens on the screen.



I have not changed the installation directory. I'll do when I see my friend soon.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for your comments and good day!

 

Not able to run ONE (and ONLY ONE) .exe file

Hi Joe,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Do you get any error message when you click on the shortcut?

Can you download the software again from the website? If yes, then try to download and install it, check if it shows the same result. Also try to change the location of the .exe file and check.

Let us know with the status of the issue.

Regards.

 

hi. I can also not access another USB drive the smae way on xtreamer, as it was also not connected during upgrade from win8.1 to win10. this seems to be a ownership/permissions issue , i have treid everything to correct this but to no avail. these two ub drives keep calling for a net id login to access the drive but fail to login on any login i type in there, including two blank login entries (id and password). evebn the win10 windows account id and pw dont work. plse help, this is very annoying.

If it is only happening with xstreamer, then you probably are better off asking in the forums at Official Xtreamer Forums Also Windows uses SMB, which is a form of Samba, but not actually Samba. SMB allows windows to communicate with Linux servers that are set up as file shares.

This explains more about Windows SMB. Server Message Block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

i already searched the xtreamer forum but i'll post a thread there on the forum , as you suggest.
i thought i'd start at win10 forum as the problem only occurred once i upgraded from w81 to w10, having used w7 before 81 also with xtreamer successfully with smb shares.

Has this issue been solved? I am experiencing the same issue .... having my Windows 10 64bit laptop share my external HD. My xstreamer sidewinder cannot access it - same issue. but on another computer with Windows 7, xtreamer can see the shares.

Help how can this be fixed. I went to xtreamer forums but couldn't find an answer.

 

If you can't see the shares, you may need to open a port on the Firewall on Windows 10.

 

May I know what port(s) to open in this case?
