XBMC share keeps coming with networkusername and password - Possible01 - 2012-02-27 Hello, This afternoon my XBMC Live Dharma crashed. So was searching for a newer version for XBMC and installed XBMCUbuntu EDEN beta 2. Everything is working great so far excerpt network shares. My laptop has Windows 7 + SP1 installed. When I want to connect to the XBMC share, it keeps asking for a username and a networkpassword. This problem did not occure with the Dharma Xbmc live installation. Does anyone know how to fix it? I did a clean Windows 7 install but it still prompt up with a username and a password. - Possible01 - 2012-02-27 Hmmmm anyone? - DaMizZa - 2012-02-28 I've always had this problem (even after going through great lengths to try and get rid of it - from making sure Windows 7 has password sharing disabled to removing the password on the user accounts on my windows 7 computer) and the only fix I found was to use the username/password you normally use to login to your Windows7 computer, and select the "Remember these credentials for this share" or something along those lines. It hasn't asked for anything since. - Dilligaf - 2012-02-28 Edit the paths to your network shares to include the user and pass...... smb://USER[email protected]/xbmc/Thumbnails Mike - Possible01 - 2012-02-28 Dilligaf Wrote:Edit the paths to your network shares to include the user and pass...... But what user and password i have to fill in? My Windows 7 machine is not password protected. And like I said, with the previos buiild (Dharma) i didnt had this problem. I also disabled the settings for password protected shares in Windows 7 but dit didnt worked out. - Dilligaf - 2012-02-28 In Windows a share with "everyone" even when not password protected is only shared with people that have a user set up on that machine. Make sure that whatever user is on logged in on the client computer has a user account on the server.

Oke i created an account for my windows 7 computer with a password, but the problem is not solved. Any other ideas? - cowfodder - 2012-02-29 It's the user name and password you setup when you installed XBMCbuntu. - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2012-03-01 on the windows side in the shared folder options do you have "everyone" in the share group? - rav666 - 2012-03-02 i had this problem as well, i put in the windows machine\username and password So my box is called core_i7 and the username is xbmc so you put this in the username "core_i7\xbmc" RE: - tunaboat - 2012-05-06 (2012-03-02, 13:42)rav666 Wrote: i had this problem as well, i put in the windows machine\username and password Yep this worked for me too. RE: XBMC share keeps coming with networkusername and password - jobe1981 - 2014-01-10 If XBMC is asking you for username and password when you are trying to connect to PC via SMB - you need to go to the file u want to share in Windows, right click, hit share with, hit specific people, click the drop down and select Everyone, then HIT ADD (IMPORTANT I KEPT FORGETTING THIS) and now you don't need username or password.
