are you playing with us ? Quote : No pc or laptop used just e2 boxes to access hdd on et10000. Dispite even if samba or NFS is not active can you see the box in your router ? Think you have a router between boxes or simply a switch

PS ::maybe explain just how everything is connected and installed included ip adresses

I have a pc and laptop but only used with a connection to box.I dont use pc or laptop to view recordings on them as just access them from other boxes like i did before.

Virgin router and unable to log into router until i find password upstairs -bad memory.
4 ports with cables going to multiple rooms with multiple switches.

Boxes all have lan cables and hard wired with DHCP used for the last 10 years and all have gateway and mac address.

If i search for recordings on this box from my zgemma from its mount Harddisk Et10000 it does not exist.

Never had an issue with an invisible box not showing up on its own search?

Hence why it might be a bug as i think all bases are covered.

Previous images had no issues with its footprint and box is on recording mode now.

 

[bellejt]

maybe than go back to previous image for testing.

 

[cactikid]

Yes might have to go back 2 years as i think all avenues have been checked and not using the last one that was corrupted.

Restored old image and its there in a network scan on et and also shows up now on my h7s

Does that confirm a bug?

Difficult to say, my ET10K works as expected using Samba. (Did you check that Samba was running, I've noticed it sometimes is in the "stopped" state for some unknown reason.)

My ET10k has always been updated (every release) by couch flash and a settings restore. The last build from scratch was when it was mandatory - 4. something.

Have you changed the Workgroup at some time, the default "WORKGROUP" ?

 

[cactikid]

If i cant access a box i check to see if Samba has stopped which it has and i restart it again.No not changed 'Workgroup'

I only reflash when needed and box had an issue with previous image.

I only set boxes up with fresh images and no settings restore but in some cases will have to use restore as in old image which is on box now.

I wish you'd tried restoring your settings.
That seems to be the only different thing that most people do but you don't do.

Maybe try again at some point with a later 5.4.xxx version.

I did and box still had issues from previous bug with vix spinner is why i tried it first and eventually had to do a clean fresh install.

I've reflashed my ET10K with 5.4.003, no settings restore, started Samba (needed an opkg update to get it to load ok.)

PC could see ET10K (asked for login credentials).

With browse network neighbourhood, ET10K could see Ultimo4k, but not itself. Ultimo4k could not see the ET10K.

The mounts I have on the Ultimo4k include the parameter vers=2.0 I couldn't work out how to force this onto browse network, so.......

Took a copy of /etc/samba from the working version of 5.4.003, and copied it into the non-working version. Now works ok (needed a yellow button rescan in browser.)

(To copy, I stopped enigma (telnet init 4), renamed /etc/samba to /etc/samba.orig, copied over the "old" version of /etc/samba, restarted with init 3, and then rebooted.)

So it must be a bug,now to try what you did Cheers

I suspect the longer term solution is to mount the boxes manually, no big deal, and avoids trying to work round limitations which may never/can never be fixed.

 

[cactikid]

But if the et is not seen it cant be mounted and box only sees media hdd,Might be fixed in next image lol.

When you said mount it manually via remote with box in front do you mean?

 

[ccs]

Use mount manager to tell it exactly what you want to do.....

 

[cactikid]

Tried that and still unseen, hmm not sure if i entered a password as i think i did

Tried doing it on my h7s and box crashed as it sees the box but cannot enter the box.

Haven't you got network browser working again, that's the issue, it struggles talking to different samba versions.
