  • This is actually what I did. I never could get Samba working, so I setup Jellyfin and it’s been a breeze ever since. What an amazing piece of software! I just wanted to access my files, but having them categorized with images, cast and crew, ratings, and even recommended is just fantastic. The Xbox app works fine but it’s basically just a web wrapper, and the cursor never goes away which is mildly annoying, but it’s still a way better experience than the VLC Xbox app.

    Thanks for the help!






  • Well I tried the UI approach of right clicking the folder and going to share options, which is when I was prompted to install Samba, but there is warning that states “The permission for <folder> prevent othersl users from accessing this share”. I did some digging on that error, and everything I came across basically said that wouldn’t work. My next attempt was modifying the Samba config file, I added

    [FolderName]

    path = (file directory path I see in properties, /media/username/lettersandnumbersfordrive?/FolderName)

    browseable = yes

    read only = yes

    guest ok = yes

    create mask =0775

    As instructed by a tutorial I found. When running testpram I don’t get any errors, but I’m not seeing the folder in VLC like I do when sharing from Win10. That’s as far as I have gotten. If there’s anything else that I can provide please let me know, and on that note, the drive I’m sharing from is NTFS if that has any impact.

    Thanks again!







  • Well, in a situation where you are going to your primary physician and not going to a hospital then you would be responsible for the co-pay for the doctors visit and whatever the prescriptions cost after insurance, so even though it’s the start of the year and I haven’t paid anything towards the deductible, it still would be less than $50. With my plan, my co-pay is $10 and I usually have my prescriptions covered 100%. That’s why I’m saying a hospital visit would be a better comparison because that’s where you really get screwed here. I am in no way defending US healthcare, just being honest about my experiences. Now, if you didn’t have insurance, then a visit like this to the doctor and prescriptions could easily be over $150.
