Hello,
as a novice in technical computer manipulations, I wanted to ask you how to read my external hard drive on my Bbox.
Indeed, when I plug my hard drive or a USB stick into my Bbox, I cannot read its content. After several inquiries, I was told that it might be due to Windows 10 preventing this operation, so I should "enable my samba protocol." Did I understand correctly or not? If not, how can I do this, please?
Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 68.0.3440.106

Hello,
In order to view the content of your Hard Drive, you need to install a "Mediacenter" application on the Bbox Miami TV Decoder, via the Google Playstore.
Examples of applications: VLC / PLEX / ARCHOS MediaPlayer / MX Player
Personally, I used Plex because by having the Plex app on the BBox (I’m with Free now) and the
Plex Media Server app on the PC, there’s no need to unplug the external hard drive from the PC.
You will be able to watch all videos on the TV through the BBox without having to plug the hard drive into the BBox.
Thus, video playback will take place from the PC to the TV via the BBox’s wifi or Ethernet network.
For Plex, you just need to create a free account and be logged in on both the PC and the Android app on the BBox with the same account.
Plex is very good.
You get the movie poster along with the description displayed.
