Melco Audiophile NAS

[Donuk]

With the latest Firmware, 3.9, you may experience problems accessing the Melco disk(s) from your computer via, e.g. Finder (Mac) and Windows Explorer.
These problems were not there, in my experience, in 3.8.
It appears that it is no longer possible to access the data on the Melco simply as a "Guest".
You have to sign in and get proper access.
And you will therefore need a username and password.
If you read through the latest release notes on the Melco site, it speaks about "Windows10 ver.1809 or later version cannot access to SMB sharing folder without ID/Password. So, for those Windows10 user can access to Melco Music Library with ID:nobody, Password:nobody."

NOTE: the same difficulties exist with Mac, and can be overcome using the "nobody" ID and Password.

I have made Melco aware of this, and I suspect this will not be the last word on the issue.

Happy Christmas to all Simon's readers.........
