No files visible in shared folder on NAS

Postby Chetwood » 23 Apr 2017 14:39

My WD NAS has these default folders:


/Public <- shared by default via SMB for any user

and in it are

/Shared Music
/Shared Pictures
/Shared Videos

So, once I figured out you need (for whatever reason) a password to access your share, I added the user chet/chet for the share /Public. Now the subfolders are visible but there's nothing in it.
When I access the very same folder from another PC on my network I see all the subfolders and can play music from any MP3 album in there. Why not from VLC?

Any progress on this? Was this a new problem or just another 'empty folder' incident?

Well, it still doesn't work. I can only access the files via crappy DLNA.
