[Solved] Oppo now asks for network password

[mikela]

I used to be able to play my unRAID media files from the Oppo 203 "Network".  Now it is asking for a password.  I have tried all my passwords and still a no go.

Maybe somebody here knows more about the specific hardware you have, I don't. Or maybe you could give us more to go on.

 

Where are you seeing this OPPO Network? Is it a DLNA server or similar that the OPPO presents to Windows?

Try with a random username and a blank password.    I have found that sometimes seems to work for some reason

Thanks for this!  I solved my original problem but occasionally get a request for a PW.  This works every time.

 

My original problem seems to have originated when I changed the name of one of my shares from "concert videos" to "MKV's" .   Once I returned it back to "concert videos" my Oppo 203 blu-ray player was able to access the files.  The Oppo would show the "MKV's" folder but despite performing a factory reset would not show the files.  My HTPC (unRAID Windows 10 VM) would allow access to the same files within the "MKV's" folder.  Not sure what's going on but glad that I have regained access.   I guess I won't attempt to change folder names going forward.

I wonder if it is the ‘ character in the new name?

Good point!  I'm reluctant to mess with it now that everything is working but may try it at some point without the '.

OK, I tried using "MKVs" instead of "MKV's" and that worked.  Doh!!!
