Hope someone can help .
I can access my shared disc on dietpi from windows 10, but my old media player(linux sat tuner) can not access it anymore. I was not using it for some time so it can be, that after some dietpi update it coming with error now . Mediaplayer can see shared disk on network as CIFS, but wont connect.
Where should I start to dig ?
Thank you
I had the same issue with VLC from Android phone.
The workaround was to use Total Commander to browse the Samba share and play the media on VLC.
Most likely the version 4.9.5 currently in Dietpi is not compatible with the version of your sat tuner.
I also have a linux sat tuner, so I can give it a try.
btw 4.9.5 is currently the official version that’s included in Debian packages. DietPi did not have any own software. It’s using official soureces

maybe you can try to add the following to your /etc/samba/smb.conf
client min protocol = NT1
Joulinar
When I try to open /etc/samba/smb.conf with nano, i get this:
[ Error reading lock file /etc/samba/.smb.conf.swp: Not enough data read ]
pls can you check that you have sufficient space available and try to remove the .swp file
rm /etc/samba/.smb.conf.swp
Deleting swp helped.
Added that line , but connection is not working anyway. 
did you restarted the service afterwards? and where did you added the line? Needs to be in Server section
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server
dns proxy = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog only = no
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\sup$
pam password change = yes
map to guest = bad user
load printers = no
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
[dietpi]
comment = DietPi Share
path = /mnt/e333
browseable = yes
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
valid users = dietpi
writeable = yes
max connections = 8
Where is that ? I added in the very end and rebooted Pi
Try to put it into [global] section
Nope. Sadly not solved yet.
hmm you could raise log level of SAMBA to a higher value to get some debugging done.
Thanks for help, but I am afraid I am not strong enough to do such things.
You can set the log level within the [global] section in the smb.conf file:
log level = 5
This should create log files in /var/log/. The logging level ranges from 1 to 10, where level 1 provides only a small amount of information and level 10 provides a plethora of low-level information. 5 is already a high value and should be used for debugging only. For normal operation, don’t use a log level higher than 3.
Just a thought
CAn it be related to permissions ? Just noticed that I cant modify files from windows machine . I can only open . Should be able to open files from m.player as well, but who knows what it needs.
Opening from phone VLC works but every single folder is asking for login. Why is that ?
hmm that sounds strange that VLC is asking for each and every folder. Can you maybe use a different Samba client app to verify the behaviour?
Do you use the same user on windows as well as on your player?
Maybe you player is running such an old SAMBA client that it is not able to connect anymore to current samba server version?? What player you are using?
Hi Joulinar,
You are asking too complicated questions . haha
I am using really old sat tuner . Its Golden Media Spark from 2012 if I recall it correctly. I dont know what client it is using. It was built in and I am not sure if I am smart enough to instal anything in to it.
Was working as is like year ago 
Also I try connecting to Pi smb server using same login from all locations.
Well I mean what model you are using. Maybe we will find something on the web
Didn’t mean to dig a grave. But as it’s unsolved and i ran into the same problem and happen to found solution, i’d like to share how to deal with it.
Use “smbpasswd -a [username]” on dietpi to create a password under your current username. Then VLC will be able to access the smb storage with the login created. This will not affect windows from accessing public folders without password.
