I would be extremely grateful if someone could explain to me how I can transfer files from the 4000t to my PC wirelessly using Samba.
I am using windows 10.
I have the server(s) set to on.
I can see the Media Server and the Media Renderer from my PC.
If I double click on the renderer its properties come up.
If I double click on the server then Windows Media Player (v12) starts.
I am able to transfer files using FTP.
Do I need to install anything on my PC? (If so, what?)

Your FVP4000 is not showing up as a file server, so samba will not work. It would show under the category “Computers” if samba were to work.
There is a general problem with Win10 and samba where certain devices don’t show up when you invoke the Network app. My QNAP409 NAS is such a device and I have struggled for months to solve this problem. MSoft have acknowledged and have a fix in the pipeline but it’s a mystery as to when it will arrive.
If you are reasonably expert on Win10 you could start here…
I have tried all the solutions offered and while some of them work they do not persist across a power-down and boot-up. So you may have to apply them repeatedly.
I would start with this one (the setting persists but the effect may not)…
Right click Start
Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows Features On or Off
SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing should be ticked ON
Good luck!
Try looking under My Computer, Network Locations, as per my FAQ
Well thanks for the speedy replies.
I tried this first
Right click Start
Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows Features On or Off
SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing should be ticked ON
It was already on so I turned it off – restarted the PC – turned it back on and restarted again. Unfortunately no joy.
If I look at network locations then I can see the 4000t and when I open that up I get two folders, Channel and My Contents.
Inside Channel are just listings of the TV/Radio channels.
If I double click on one of the channels WMP starts but does not appear to be able to play any content.
Inside My Contents I just see ‘This folder is empty’.
My Contents is the folder you want for recordings.
If empty, and I know you have already mentioned that these are on.
On the FVP restart the network server, ensure the file share options are on.
Last but not least and last for a reason, factory reset the unit, make of note of your recording schedule as you will have to re schedule.
Firstly thanks for the replies.
I seem to have found a solution.
From reading info from the link Pollensa1946 supplied I tried this:
Rename the server using all uppercase characters and restart the server.
Back on the PC and My Contents Recordings is populated as I’d expect.
Hopefully this will help others.
By the way, I used all caps and had no spaces in the server name. I don’t know if that is relevant or not.
I’m glad it worked for you. Don’t rush to a conclusion as many of the solutions work for one user but not another, or they do not persist thru a full power-down and re-boot. This is a real strange problem but MSoft say they have recognised the solution and it’s in a future build. Meanwhile it’s a show-stopper for me and many others on fully converting to Win10.

How annoying! It certainly works for me, now I need to find out how to play HD recordings on the PC.

I don’t think you can as they are not decrypted during the copy process. Much the same as copy to usb HDD, they will only playback on the unit they were copied/moved off.

OK thanks Barry.
Whilst I’m here do you know if it’s possible to view live TV from the PC. I’m thinking of the links in the Channels folder I mentioned earlier.
This thread spurred me into revisiting this problem fresh from the beginning.
All device drivers up to date, BIOS at latest available level, all MSoft updates in place. Still my QNAP NAS and other devices missing from Network Discovery. Even some devices that were displayed when I clicked on them I got a “Could not connect to device” message. However, to my surprise, in that this had not worked prior to the latest MSoft updates, I typed the device name into the address field (example… \QNAPNAS) and up popped the folders. I then mapped each folder on each device to a network drive and they now all consistently appear on the Win10 “This PC” page. So clearly Win10 can see them but does not report them on the Network page while correctly reporting them on the This PC page.

Yes, I managed to map two folders on the FVP, Download and Recordings. I used \192.168.0.xxDownload. I first tried using the server name rather than the address but that did not appear to work.
Msoft seem to have delivered on fixing the Win10 Network app as since the updates of last week all my devices are now shown correctly on the Network page.

Hi, you have previously said that the device should show under ‘computers’ in the network section. Mine is still not doing that. Do you know which update to windows yours has had to enable this?
There was a batch of updates available Tuesday of last week. I simply allowed them all to install and it fixed the problem for me. The success of these Msoft updates has in the past varied depending on the hardware used for Win10 and the network device hardware. On this occasion I seem to have been lucky. With previous updates many users reported success while many others ( me included) reported failure. From post #11 you will see I did a fresh re-install of Win10 and then updated. Whether that influenced things I have no idea. On one of the forums the MSoft guy doing the coding admitted he did not have any legacy h/w to enable him to fully test. How good is that!
EDIT: I would power down entire network and re-boot everything and see if that improves things.
