Infuse no longer connecting to Win10 share

[Sasha81]

Suddenly I could no longer play content. The only thing that’s changed is I ran Win10 updates.

So I deleted the share and tried reconnecting again. It says my username and password combination isnt right (it is right).

So I changed the SMB setting from Auto to Legacy and it says:

An error occured.
Sorry, infuse encountered an error while trying to connect

Deleted the app and reinstalled it. No go.

This behavior seems to occur when using a Microsoft Account vs a local account for the login. It’s not an elegant solution, but making a local account, giving that account access to the shared folders solves the problem.

You may first want to try what this post recommends

Connecting to SMB share (win10) with AppleTV Infuse

Before you re-install, you may just try walking through the steps to enable File Sharing on your PC. There have been at least a few Windows updates which have caused File Sharing to become disabled, which would prevent apps like Infuse from being able to connect. Also check to ensure the username/password you’re putting in Infuse is correct. Anonymous (guest) access gets a little weird with SMB.

If that doesn’t get you going then try what Grymmy suggested. Seems that I’ve read that too can help in certain circumstances.

Thanks guys.

I checked File sharing settings. That was all fine. Even enabled SMB in Windows Components.

Then I created a new account. It then appeared as an ‘Available Share’

Now I see three Shares.

One is my computers IP address
Second is the share I manually added
Third is My Computers hostname:Microsoft account name

Anyway I suppose it’s fixed now!

Thanks again
