SMB (Samba issue)

[hifiguy64]

I have tried just about everything to connect to the Samba server on an Eversolo DMP-A6 (files on internal SSD).
I can easily connect to the DMP samba share on my PC.
Just enter the IP address and the Share folder shows up and SSD is in the share folder.

I followed this Wiim tutorial https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support...s-in-the-wiim-app#Introduction-to-SMB-(Samba).
I'm entering the following \\192.168.x.xxx\Share\XXXXXXXX (SSD Name).
I also tried DMP_SMABA\share\XXXXXXX or working backwards to the just the IP address or Server name (DMP_SAMBA) root directories.
All of the above with user name & password.
No matter what it fails !

Anyone have any ideas ???

Can you configure the SMB version used by the DMP exposing its SSD to the network? Your PC might still support SMB v1 but IIRC WiiM does not.

Raise a ticket to WiiM via the more/feedback section in the app so they can inspect your device logs for clues.

You can check the smb version on the Eversolo with nmap:

nmap -p445 --script smb-protocols <target>

I'm not sure if it's still the case (I should be able to check in a couple of hours), but WiiM didn't support specifying sub-directories in the smb address, so the Share\XXXXXX may be causing issues. I know you've tried \\IP\Share but that folder is unlikely to be shared - although you should get a different error message.

Doesn't the Eversolo serve files over DLNA as SMB browsing is painful?

Thanks all for your input.

OK, further testing today with my newer windows 11 machine.
At first I was not able to get to the Eversolo share ??
I turned on SMB V1 and still not working.
Then I noticed the IP address on the Eversolo had changed (I may need to reserve one in my router).
The I turned off SMB V1 rebooted and with the new IP the Windows 11 machine will access files.
Tried again on the Wiim with just the IP address and no go.
I revisited the instructions from Wiim (link was in 1st post) and you need to add the folder after the IP address (\\192.xxx.x.xxx\Share).
Boom the Wiim found this directory.
I tried playing some files and they work but the artwork is not displayed.
I've seen others with the SMB artwork issue, so I'll look at a solution.

No, just hard coded SMB w/no options or settings available.

I trust you mean an alternative solution as there is no artwork when browsing, only during playback when using SMB as a source.
If you don't want a music server and are on Android, you could point Symfonium to the Eversolo SMB share which will index your collection and allow you to play to both.

Does not show artwork when playing either. Others report the same.
Each album is in its own directory (wav files) with a folder.jpg of the cover art.
When I had an SSD connected to the Wiim, it had to scan and create its own artwork cache.
Silly to me but that's how the Wiim works.
The screen on the Wiim is so small it is not that big of a deal and I have been wrestling with changing the playback screen to just the large text format anyway.

Maybe it was only embedded artwork. I only tried it once.
