any reason why I can't see smb shares on my desktop computer in openelec but I can see them in Xbian? I've tried using the ip, the desktop name, even just the workgroup, but I still get nothing but the two dots. I can also see the desktop on UPNP devices but it doesn't show anything but the default shares.

Ask at OpenELEC
Or maybe give LibreELEC a shot.

I don't actually think anyone is at the openelec forums. None of the questions seem to get answered, like ever.

Sounds like a good reason to move on to LE or OSMC.

Moving to LE probably wont help either. I have the same problem. Started a thread aboutt it and got help from Milhouse but he concluded that it was a samba problem and nothing he could do. Dont remember what the last version was that worked for me. But it is all i that thread.

When you say don't see your external hard drives, what exactly do you mean? Are you trying to add them as sources?
If you go under video > files are they visible there?

I meant exactly what I said. They don't mount, not under /media or /var/media. Its a working drive if i plug into into my win 10 desktop it shows up fine same with my ubuntu laptop. It also shows up in Xbian but theres a bunch of stuff that doesn't work there, or that I haven't figured out yet.
