Should smbstatus or "smbstatus -- shares" come back with the share listed? It isn't.
Thanks

I had same issue.. I found an article http://woshub.com/cannot-access-smb-network-shares-windows-10-1709/#:~:text=To%20enable%20access%20under%20the,policy%20Enable%20insecure%20guest%20logons.
I used the registry editor setting AllowInsecureGuestAuth to a value of numeric 1....
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters /v AllowInsecureGuestAuth /t reg_dword /d 00000001 /f
It works fine now.
Donna,
Funny I had seen this before too but never tried it. Your reply made me try and guess what..... IT WORKED!!!
Thank you so much much for your reply, I can now browse the drive. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Funny, my laptop as always been able to browse doesn't have the entry. So, either not having the "AllowInsecureGuestAuth" is the same as having it set to 1 or there is another way it works....
FYI I just had this same issue. However I tried using...
\DVR-SERVER.local\MEDIA\DVR\
instead and that worked. That .local thing seems to be relatively new and something that's required for me to access the webui as well. I'm using a Pi 4 server so maybe it's part of an update to that, I'm not sure. The webui should probably be updated to show this in the "Access your recordings via..." part.
Also I don't see the smba share listed in the Network section of my Windows Explorer. I have an older NAS that uses v1 shares so I already have the old shares option enabled. My only guess as to why is the work group might be wrong? I don't see an option anywhere in the webui to see, or edit, that so I'm not sure.
I don't use the Pi but after seeing so many people having issues with SMB/Samba I was thinking the same thing. I never use the default workgroup name on my NAS's or any Windows machine I setup, so forget what the default name is.
How is it configured on the Channels DVR Pi image?
