HI new to all this.

Trying to add movies
Videos>Files> Add files>Browse> Windows SMB>Workgroup>My laptop> movie folder.

When I select the folder containing my movies a lock settings screen pops up.

Not sure what password they are asking for.

No password to log onto laptop needed

Folder is shared

tried network password, no luck

XBMC Frodo 12. Raspian
Same problem using OpenElec

Network connection s fine

Please point me in the right direction or tell me what I need to do.

Thanks in advance TominCville

Nothing on this laptop is password protected. I created another user, assigned a password and added to permissions and that works. Not sure why I needed to do it this way. I'm really trying to learn as much as I can. I someone could explain why I have this problem I would help my understanding.

hey tomincville, i use to have that problem with older version of XBMC... odd you're seeing that with 12

Try adding the shared folder via IP instead. still SMB but point it via IP.

Something like:
SMB:\\192.168.x.x.\foldername

you will have to add it in manually so plug a keyboard in if you don't already have one as it may take you a few tries. first try will probably come out as SMB:\\SMB:\\... you'll see what im talking about once you get at it.

Good luck... if it works you may want to set the sharing computers IP to static so you dont have to worry about it.
