Issue with SMB

apoly1

Hi guys, I've just purchased Skybox and when I click "Network" a folder with my full name is there (I assume my laptop as it shares the same device name and is the only other laptop/pc in the house connected to this network) anyway - i click that folder and it asks for a user/password?? I have no idea what this could be

Hello,

Please make sure you've enabled file sharing on your Windows PC and then you can go to Network channel to stream videos from PC to VR headset using SMB.

Here're the steps to set up file sharing on Windows:

Right-click the folder you want to share, and choose Properties.
From the Sharing tab, click Advanced Sharing.
Tick Share this folder. You can also click Permissions to grant access to particular groups or individuals.
Click OK. Then you can go to SKYBOX "Network" channel to access the shared folder. If you're requested to enter a username and password, please enter your Windows account username and Windows login password.

Note: Your Windows PC and your VR device should be connected to the same (W)LAN.

Hope that helps. Let us know if you have any other problems.

Best regards,
Lucy

No you can't it asks for a username and password and fails to tell you which UN and pass it wants. I've tried all the combos under the sun.
