Hi, I’m trying to connect to my maxtor central axis drive. I normally use the samba syntax: http://userid:passwd@ipaddr/home and I connect.
Net shares isn’t connecting. Is there any syntax that will help me connect that I didn’t try yet?
It starts to show the files screen but it flips back to the shares select screen right away and shows the same error message: unknown username or bad password.
I got the App recently. been trying for days to hook up with my pc (Window 8). After setting up the pc’s ip and the unsername and password of it, it simply does NOT connect. Give me “Unknown Username or bad password”
@Pedalshoe,
Please, check files and folders on your remote folder is there any of them without reading permissions?
That’s the only thing I can think about. It you can connect and see files and folder things must be working fine but there is something wrong if it closes.
Try to review perms and let’s see what happens.
Using this great net shares app on a BlackBerry Q10.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get a full-screen display on a TV, of a video being played through this app. I am using the HDMI attachment, but unfortunately the video plays as a small square on the TV. Thanks!
@Robert,
I’m not sure, I will try with my Q10 tomorrow and see.
Anyway, have you tried playing with hdmi and screen options on settings? I think ther might be womthing to do with it…
@David McIntosh,
Yes! I tried it and worked fine, so it’s better than the other solution 🙂
Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you
Sorry that samba syntax starts with smb..
smb://userid:passwd@ipaddr/home
Not http.. Is. There anything I need to do.. Or not supported?
Thanks
@pedalshoe,
Add a new host with your data, ip address, user and password.nothing more, i.e.:
Host: 10.10.10.1
User: your user
Pass: your pass.
Save and try to connect.
I get unknown username or bad password pop up message.
How do I specify the directory /home. For instance?
@Pedalshoe,
Shouldn’t be necesary, but in hostname try: ip/home. i.e.
10.10.1.2/home
What happens?
It starts to show the files screen but it flips back to the shares select screen right away and shows the same error message: unknown username or bad password.
@Pedalshow,
so, to be sure I have understood, it connects and starts showing the files but never finishes listing, instead it closes back.
Is that?

Same problema for me… Shows a glimpse and right away gives me the error “Unknown Username or bad password.
It starts to show the screen then quickly slides back to the shares select screen and displays the error message.

Still here, waiting for some support… Not connecting to my pC. Windows 8;: Would like to know what is goin on?
@Manuel,
Can you connect to your shared folder from other computers in your network?
This is the first step to check everything is working fine.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I did play with the settings – on both the Q10 and the TV. No luck. Let me know what you come up with. Thanks!
@Robert,
Very bad news! It seems it can’t be done, only native video player can work on html full screen. There are a lot of issues like this:

And more and more…
This makes the Q10 hdmi useless for any kind of streaming service or video players…
I’ll try to find support on dev forums, maybe I can do something programatically.
Well, it’s better to know where we’re at than still seeking answers – thanks! Looking forward to what you come up with.
Again, thank-you!
When trying to play .mkv files I get that file is not supported!
@hsantos,
Is this on Playbook or BB10?
Does that file work under native player?
