VLC for iOS 3.2.13 - Unable to access Linux SMB server

Hello,
I would like to report an issue with VLC for iOS version 3.2.13.
It worked previously, but now when I try to connect to the server I am prompted for authentication. This shouldn't be the case (anonymous login enabled).
Here is the smb.conf from the server:
Code: Select all
[global]
map to guest = Bad User
usershare allow guests = yes
workgroup = WORKGROUP
[share]
comment = share
path = /mount/share
read only = no
guest ok = yes
I'd be willing to try the beta if you want to send me an invite.
Thank you.

I am also having an issue with 3.2.13 seeing a samba server and connecting to that server using an ipad. this did work till about six weeks ago.
i am told there is a beta which seems to get around what i would consider a bug.
how would one get a copy of this beta?

I was able to get this going on iOS and tvOS by adding
to the
global section of my smb4.conf file. I'm running samba4 on FreeBSD.

Hi,
Same issue on an iPhone 12 with version 3.2.13. Any chance I can get an invite to the beta, or is it close to getting published?
