I typed this command on my Mac:
smbutil statshares -a
and it says:
SMB_NEGOTIATE SMBV_NEG_SMB1_ENABLED
SMB_NEGOTIATE SMBV_NEG_SMB2_ENABLED
SMB_NEGOTIATE SMBV_NEG_SMB3_ENABLED
SMB_VERSION SMB_1
SMB_SHARE_TYPE UNKNOWN
EXTENDED_SECURITY_SUPPORTED TRUE
UNIX_SUPPORT TRUE
LARGE_FILE_SUPPORTED TRUE
Does that mean my med and mac are using SMB_1 to communicate? Is this to be expected? I looked on samba.org site and it seems they are up to SMB 4.7 or something now
You should not ask yourself, what version samba is on NOW, but what version samba was on when the hardware for the mede8er was developed !!!!!!!
BUT by only supporting V!, the mede8er is always compatible with older Hardware like older Macs, older Windows PC's and especially older versions NAS devices !!!!!
Don't get me wrong, i know the Mede8er has it's flaws, but untill now it still does everything i need it to do.(Although i think Sanji can not exist only on the selling of these older models, and have to come up with a new player soon that adds 4K and HDR to the allready existing features, because they are losing the battle of keeping up with modern technology).
But i am not bashing Mede8er in every message i post (Like you are trying to do).
