I have an Archer C7 wireless router with a USB hard drive connected to it that contains all my media. I have two linux boxes and two Windows machines that can see the share (\192.168.xxx.xxx\volume1), but the nVidia Shield TV won't see it automatically OR let me enter the address manually. KODI and SPMC both surf to and find the share and media folders therein without problem, but the Shield will not natively see it.
When I try to enter it manually, it says "CONNECTION FAILED - null is not available". I don't know what it says by null except that it can't tell anything is there at all.
The only thing I can think of is that, in Linux, I have to use "sec=ntlm" to change the dedault security in the cifs/samba command in file /etc/fstab to get it to mount, but I can't set something like that in the Shield. Even if I remove authentication altogether, the Shield still doesn't recognize the share or even the 192.168.xxx.xxx address at all. They're on the same network. I should also mention that I can connect to the share from my Android phone, so I don't think it's something with the OS. Maybe...
At this point, I'm at a total loss to get this share connected to the SHIELD.
Any ideas?
