So, I just installed OpenElec 2 days ago, I have 0 experience with Linux stuff, and played a bit with Ubuntu but for what I needed, OpenElec worked great.
On my PC (not my HTPC) I have Win7x64 installed. I do all my re-encodes, edits, renaming etc from there, then I dump them to my HTPC (3TB drive for TV, 3TB drive for movies). So far I was able to share the drives on the HTPC and mapped them as network drives on my PC and I've copied files over, but haven't tested anything like deleting/renaming yet.
On the HTPC however, I am trying to add a shared folder from my Win7 system, which when the HTPC was running Win7, worked just fine. I can go into add source, browse, windows network (smb) and I can find my Win7 PC no problem, but when I try to add it asks for a username/password and as best as I can remember, my Win7 PC has no passwords. If I leave the password field blank, it won't add it. On my PC, when I go to my user settings, there is an option to create a password, but no option to change/delete existing.
Any suggestions?
