VLC for iOS 3.2.13 - Unable to access Linux SMB server

Postby segodmiche » 30 Oct 2021 18:56

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

Code: Select all

server min protocol = NT1
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?
