Wont play media over SMB
Posted: 05 May 2024 10:37
Have been using VLC (3.5.8/616) on Apple TV (17.4/21L227) using SMB to access a disk on an Airport Express.
VLC has worked fabulously for a couple of years -- until about a month ago. Two things occurred, perhaps after a VLC update :
Now, even this does not work. The media will not play, credentials will not be stored.
Using VLC (3.4.9/550) on iPad to connect to same disk and files works flawlessly.
Any help or advice appreciated.
VLC has worked fabulously for a couple of years -- until about a month ago. Two things occurred, perhaps after a VLC update :
- VLC lost stored credentials for accessing the shared folder and will not remember them.
- Folders can be browsed and files seen, but on attempting to play media VLC is stuck at 'Please wait' with the orange VLC icon and the spinning indicator.
Now, even this does not work. The media will not play, credentials will not be stored.
