    Question Rooting for Samba Filesharing

    Hey guys,Any idea on how to root the Dreamlink T1 Plus so that I can install and set up Samba Filesharing and share folders on the external SD card with Windows clients properly...?I am aware of the trick of setting up Samba on a non-standard >1024 port, but then I would need to set up a virtual network adapter and IP to do the redirect... which also needs rooting... so then, why not root for Samba directly... ThanksQ

    Dreamlink blocked many parts of their boxes due to piracy.
    Doubt you'll have any luck.

    I've got tons (several hundred GB) of family videos and photos and want to transfer them onto the 512GB microSD I recently added to my DL box...
    Want to use the box as the local mirror of my family media... I thought DL was (also) a media centre...

    I remember trying that and seeing that work, but only the internal storage was shared/visible, not the external one... and even the internal one was read-only...
    Will re-check again tonight.
    Thanks.

    I hear you, its just beyond my expertise. I know dl has their boxes pretty secure due to piracy issues but with the internet and smart members around, I guess anything is possible.
    Good luck in your endeavours.
