Thank you for putting a straight forward video on how to do this - every single video editorial on this is about screen sharing or wireless HDMI - so thank you and great video!
Yours laptop user name and I'd like you set a lock so it will show the username and when you set the lock the personal password which you will put that is your username and password
for me its missing the step, where I go to the TV and now access what I put in from TV.. Can u pls do that bit.. in Particular, im wanting to grab a movie url from my pc using Video Download helper.. put that in shared folder, then go to my Android TV and play it.. Thx after scrolling 100s of 'help' yours is closest..
At the Add server screen I also have an option SMB V2 on/off and below that a domain name. What to choose. When I enter my user name and P.W I received “ Authentication failed”, why. I’m sure of the user name & password names.
I know this is an old video. My problem is that when I share a drive in Windows 10, my fire cube VLC player shows some folders as empty and some with all the content correctly. I don't get why some folders are shown as empty when I know they're not. I did everything, relaunched vlc app, restarted Fire cube, restarted pc. Manually entered my ftp network credentials in VLC, entered my windows user name and password......... NOTHING. Like before I can stream video from some folders and not from the empty ones obviously.
Did help but not exactly what i need to do i want shield to see my folder on my pc that has all my movies and play them on shield I don’t want to have to add each movie each time to play the movie i want the shield to see the the whole folder of movies and just play it with shield ?
I did Hi, I would love to get another explanation on how to set a server password. I thought this was done at the stage of adding a server, but it warns that there is no access to the server. In general I do not have a password for the computer and just wanted to add as you presented but here I got stuck because it does not give access to the server. How do you solve this? Thanks!
thanks bud super helpful. one question.. what username and password does the X-Plore file manager app need to access the chosen folder from your computer via LAN?
it didn't work at first. than later I found that sharing will not work if the PC account is an Microsoft account method! so I changed the account to local account then worked! Windows sucks! thanks for the video
Any idea what to do if I am logged into windows using the MS account? I know I can login with a local account instead, but is there any workaround or procedure if I want to stay logged into Windows using the MS account
Try disabling PIN login for the Microsoft Account (Settings > Accounts > Sign in options > PIN). Windows rejected my credentials until I removed the PIN, then I could sign in just using my email address.
Yes, its possible to directly watch movies from your network shares. You can also use VLC player, KODI, Nova video player to access your network shares. For subtitles, most of the time I use .SRT. For example in one folder there's movie01.mpg and movie01.srt. If you play it with VLC player or Kodi it will detect your subtitles right away.
@@donatellozoffranieri the integrated player for X-plore Filemanager is just a basic one. I suggest you install VLC player or Nova player its all in the playstore.
Patrick Gwyn Durmiendo thanks what do you think of mx player, is it worth installing it? read more player formats that you recommended me? Thanks again
@@donatellozoffranieri yup its a good player and a good supplementary player for X-plore filemanager. But the app itself can't browse network shares on its own unlike VLC, Nova Player and Kodi.
thanks man you made it really easy to follow. props to you for such an informative and easy to understand video. i now dont have to connect a usb drive to watch movie. one question will there be lag when i am using it to watch movies??
Windows used to have a guest account that can be used as a access point in lan, but now that option is missed. Do you know how to get it back? I don't want to expose my account credential on android TV.
Very informative video, thank you. I want to be able to use Windows (10) File Explorer to drag and drop files from my PC to my Android box. Is this possible?
Thank you very much. Regarding your question for drag and drop. you can still use the X-plore file manager app on your android TV and enable Wifi File sharing. It will provide you an http link similar to this 192.168.1.23:1111 and just enter that link on your browser. You can now drag and drop those files from your PC to the android tv box. There's also another option using X-plore file manager app again. you can enable FTP server. Once it its enabled. You can install an FTP client on your PC like winSCP or filezilla and you can drag and from from your pc to the android tv box.
Loved the rooster commenting on your advice, thanks to the both of you. I had to go to the "show" menu in X-plore to enable LAN, now files are not showing up in my shared folder ...Troubleshooting time... Alright, it looks like android SMB requires the network host to have a password in order to access its shared files. I didn't have (and don't want) a password on my main pc, I'll see if I can find a solution to this.
you can try this instead. Press the Windows Key to open the Start menu and, without clicking anything, type sharing. At the top should be Manage advanced sharing settings. Click that. Expand the heading for All Networks and find the section called Password protected sharing. Set that to Turn off password protected sharing. Click Save changes.
I did it but it wasn't enough: still no files would show up. That's why I believe this to be a SMB related issue, as I can access shared folders and files on the same PC from my windows laptop even without a password (changed a registry value to make it possible). In the end I set a password on my PC account and made it skip the Windows 10 login screen with netplwiz (Win + R to open Run box, and enter "netplwiz")
Hello. Just a question. Whats that login and password you were asked for? Its to your pc? I dont have PC locked so i will not need to type anything there?

Need to setup a user account with a password for sharing data across the network in modern w10 For home network username share password share will work fine just remember to add the share user to have full access to the shared folder
At 4.35 you enter username and password. For what? I cannot get the permissions right. I use a login on the windows side name@hotmail.com, and it will not accept the @hotmail.com part. any help would be appriciated
Changed over to a lokal user instead, i can now connect but it fails to show the content of the folders, think i must take a look on the permissions once more .
@@Vognbygger84 If you share your folder with everyone, you can leave it blank but if you share it with a specific user, you have to use the user's identification. For exemple, if your Windows Session username is Administrator and your password is 1234, then you have to use that.
Unfortunately if you are using a mi box remote, the ability to correctly navigate the xplore file mgr correctly doesn't seem possible. You are unable to reach the right side of the add server popup to input destination shared folder credentials of username and password. Another app that will allow the successful input of all info is one called Network Browser. That app also has the added benefit of white text on a dark background which makes it MUCH more user friendly on a TV.
Please help! When youn enter username and password at 04:40, what username and password are these? Where do I find them on my computer? Thanks in advance!
You need to setup a username and a password so that you can share folders over your network. under control panel you can go to user accounts. using windows 10 you can go to settings then accounts. www.laptopmag.com/articles/change-password-windows-10
