Client Mode

[JonMMM]

I have a Gigablue UHD UE 4K with a 1TB hd in the bedroom (its where the sat feeds are) so I have brought a Zgemma h8.2h to act as a client.

I can quie happily watch the channels so it is all set up correctly, but I cannot watch recording that are on the GB nor can I pause live TV.

What do I need to do to enable this?

Many thanks

Do you have Samba or Nfs installed as you need it to do a network scan on the Gigablue as can install from feeds.

Client box you will need to scan home network to find the Gigablue Ip address and click on it to open the drop down menu and find HD.

Mount it save it and exit out . You should then be able to view your recordings from another room and tv by clicking on files/pvr button.

OK have gone into network / utilities and installed samba and NFS on both machines.

on the Zgemma gone network / network browser / rescan and theGigablue does not show up.

Have tried rebooting both machines and still nothing.

I assume both are connected to lan ? It also happens to me and if you know Gig. network ip like 192.168.0.24 there is an advanced function via blue button when network comes up blank.
Enter Gig. ip into the line to give it an option and scan via green button.

It should then see your box and expand it and mount and save hdd and exit out.

Have you got netbios enabled in your samba setup?

Have you got netbios enabled in your samba setup?

I am sure there is a good reason for Netbios being disabled on a Virgin build, however, everytime I upgrade I have to manually change all three of my boxes to enable it as I use network mounts daily on all my VU's.

"Navigate to /etc/samba/distro/smb-global.conf (Helps with Network Mount Issues)
Edit this line: disable netbios = No
Default is Yes"

Is there anyway as part of an upgrade this setting is not copied from the existing image...............?
