@hsantos,
It’s hard to guess the issue. There can be problems with the file itself, not every file is valid for streaming.
I can do some tests if you send me the file.
I installed net shares file explorer, can’t get connected to the network share on my modem. I can reach it from my pc’s and also with ftpcafe. Doei you have a hint?
Greetings Ridder
When I fill in the ip adres and folder, username and password, and try to connect I do not see the remote folders, empty list. After a while I get a error unable to connect unknwn host.
I like to connect to reach image and music files.
To add a new host I use the “new” button, after finishing the entries I use the “connect” bubutton.
Getting no joy with this on my Playbook, it does not even show in the application permissions even tho I allowed full access to files and internet.
Trying to connect to 2 PC’s and a mobile phone.
just getting the unable to connect/unknown host
this is using the ip address coming up in the search with fields left blank.
Tried the other router, different network name,secure and unsecured etc. and no joy.
with the 192.168.1.100
If i edit the Domain to MSHOME = nothing
if i edit the user name to Foxy = I connect to my own Playbook files on both remote and local folders.
The only ever ip address that shows in results is
192.168.1.100
Any ideas?
Its on my Playbook.
The file plays well on my computer, but on the playbook with the native player I get only video. No sound

@Ridder,
Is your server found by scan button?
Is there any returned error?
The server is not found by scanning.
A Windows XP is found but when I make a connection I get an error
Unable to connect unknown host
@Ridder,
Is it returning any error when you add it with ip and user/password?
How are you adding your host? Which data are you trying?
When I fill in the ip adres and folder, username and password, and try to connect I do not see the remote folders, empty list. After a while I get a error unable to connect unknwn host.

@Ridder,
Please, write down here what you are filling on “host”.
192.168.2.253/DRIVE01
@Ridder,
Try setting only 192.168.2.253, without any folder (and your user/pass) and see what happens.

@Foxy,
Are your devices detected by search feature?
No succes, same error message
only the same one every time.
192.168.1.102
It don’t matter how many devices are on the network. only one shows in the search results and always same error
“unknown user name or bad password”
The internet connection is via 3G dongle thats in a 3G router. does that help or have any effect on things?
I do have another router that I can test.
Tried the other router, different network name,secure and unsecured etc. and no joy.

@Ridder,
Can you do the opposite, reach your device from your PC?
@Foxy,
Don’t use domain.
Do you have visibility between your PC’s and Playbook? Can you ping your playbook from your PC?
Do you have any firewall on your PC?
Do you get access between your PC’s?
