Roon Rock cannot find FFMPEG file on an Intel Nuc

After reading another topic I found a solution and got the right FFMPEG file copied, the file Slim_Fishguttz mentioned

I had 2 issues:

  • In Linux copying failed, probably due those permission problems florid mentions,
  • in windows 10 the location was not shown at all,

I decided to fix the Windows issue

First SMB 1.0/CIFS Client need to be checked

to do that Run optionalfeatures check SMB 1.0/CFIS Sharing Support and check SMB 1.0/CIFS client

Second I needed to check Enable insecure guest logons in local computer policy

to enter local computer policy you need to enter gpedit.msc, but gpedit.msc is only available in windows enterprise edition, not in windows home. I downloaded the installation file from here: http://m.majorgeeks.com/content/page/enable_group_policy_editor_in_windows_10_home_edition.html

And now after installation:

open gpedit.msc
computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Network > Lanman Workstation and there Enable insecure guest logons

Reboot the pc and Rock is visible in the file manager. Copy the Ffmpeg file to Data/Codecs

Restart the nuc and all my codecs are installed.

Tnx all for the input!
