Hey All,

 

I have not seen this before with my old win7 pc. I built a new computer loaded everything up. Went to my network browser clicked on the server with rc2 win7 asked for a user name and password never has before and it did not ask for one for my two old 4.7 servers anyhow I entered root and it seemed fine but I had some movies done from the previous install copied them over to the server from the new win7 pc and used ember to setup the nfo's for them. I tried to update my library this morning in xbmc and it could not find any of those movies, when I went to into file mode to look for the movies the folders were on the server when I click on them xbmc is asking for a user and pass and then I came back to my winxp machine pulled up the same new movie folders and as well I am told I do not have access rights to those files, but on the win7 machine I can access them fine.

 

i did not have this problem with the previous machine and it was a win7 machine. I am not sure where to look, the new win7 machine is part of my home network, I am not sure if running the permissions on the server would fix the problem, as I said all the old files are fine it is just the 25 new files I copied over and added metadata from the new Win7 machine.

 

I just deleted the credentials for mediaserver in win7 and if I click on the computer in network browser it is asking for a username and password again.

 

thanks,

 

Dave

Do not log into a share as root or you'll have to run "New Permissions" every time you add a file.

Well what uname and password am I suppose to use. I disabled the homegroup in win7 which I am pretty sure I did not do on the old win7 pc. I have 14 computers on my network 5 of them are myth or ubuntu to xbmc and the 5.0 rc2 unraid server is the only one that win7 asks for a password upon connecting.

 

I had to add my movies to my library in xbmc manually and now ember media manager will not find any new movies I add to server after copying them over.

Add a user in the unRAID web GUI.

So I connected my old win7 pc to compare notes and there are no windows credentials stored for the new 5.0rc2 server. There are generic credentials stored for mediaserver:80 with no username but a password that I never entered. Win7 NEVER asked.

 

All folders on the server when viewed from the NEW windows7 pc have permissions as /mediaserver/nobody and I am adding user DVS who is added as an admin on the server. NONE of this is helping anything. I still cannot find new movies added to ember and or connect to the server half the time from win7 nor will xbmc find any new movies after scraping.

 

even adding the user nobody without a password gets me into the server in win7 but will not let me access permissions OR manipulate any files. I am not using active directory or a homegroup.

 

I guess I will try and roll back to beta 14 this is an issue with 5.0 rc series reading notes in the rc3 thread.
