Do not know if this means anything but I have TM Twin OE and was running the 4D Openpi version 2.1 and I could see the rec on my network ei. Root and Hard Disk folders and was able to download to my computer anything I had recorded.
Then the other day I upgraded the 4D image to Openpi 3.0 and could no longer see the rec on my computer.
As I use this function quite a lot I have now reinstalled the 2.1 version and all is working again.

if you open your file explorer & type the machine name like \\vusolo in the address bar, do the shares show up then?

Thought ye were discussing the other way around, sorry...

anyway, just set-up a bunch of windows shares & no matter what I do, I can't see them on the Solo, I don't usually share this way so not sure if I've done it right but it should be simple, so presume so...

one thing I did notice, if I install the samba packages manually, I get:

root@vusolo2:~# opkg install task-base-smbfs
Installing task-base-smbfs (1.0-r85) to root...
Downloading http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/feeds/3.0/vusolo2/vusolo2/task-base-smbfs_1.0-r85_vusolo2.ipk.
task-base-smbfs: unsatisfied recommendation for kernel-module-cifs
task-base-smbfs: unsatisfied recommendation for kernel-module-smbfs
Configuring task-base-smbfs.

not sure if that would make a difference though...
I'll bring it up in the dev room & see if anyone comes up with anything.
