I am still having a problem with my SMB device (Vertabim MediaShare). I do not know which version of SMB it uses, but it is hardcoded and cannot be changed. I just get an empty folder when I try to connect and infinite spinner. Can you please confirm if SMBv1 is no longer supported in VLC IOS? Would...

Did not know about that. So VLC officially no longer supports SMB v1?

Can't do anything about my device then. Doesn't seem to have any firmware updates to support later versions.

Thats a shame. Will have to stick with other apps then.

SMB (version 1 I believe) connection to my media streamer device, a Verbatim Mediashare hasn’t worked on VLC since version 3.x

Works absolutely fine on other apps like nPlayer and Infuse. Would love to see this working again.

Hi, do you know if it is samba 1 or samba 2/more? Not totally sure but I just tried Infuse app and you can select the version of SMB to connect with and I chose v1 and it connects fine. I don’t know if that helps. However VLC iOS was working ok before with same device. Btw the actual problem is whe...

This is no longer working on the latest version of VLC (3.1.5 All along the watchtower) I am using the exact same settings saved in VLC from previous connections where it was all working fine. I tried a different app (PlayerXtreme) and that can read the SMB device fine. Although I prefer to use VLC....

Ok its finally working!

The problem? My login to the SMB connection was a user with a blank password. For some reason VLC doesn't like that. After changing the password it can now read the folder contents!

After the last few updates, I am still having a problems with SMB. Same issue as before, nothing shows up after connecting. I know you probably can't test this exact device, but all other apps I've tried work fine, can't see why VLC would be different. Does VLC follow any kind of standard for SMB co...

Having the exact same problem! Why would I be blacklisted?

As with the poster above me, I have only ever experienced this on this forum.

I am now logged on using my mobile internet.

Hi Felix. Yes that's the one!

Btw when I said Kodi, it is iOS version, so from the same iPad device I am using VLC. I just tried OPlayerHD and SMB works fine there too with the MediaShare device.

I am trying to connect to a Verbatim Mediashare which is a device which shares a USB stick over wifi. It supports SMB and I can successfully connect to it using Kodi, however when I try to connect using VLC iOS I just get a screen with no contents. I've tried ports 139 and 445 too but made no differ...
