Does it work with Mac?
Hello,
I'm trying to connect my S7 to my mac using Total Commander but I can't connect... Do someone konw how to do that ?
I'm using the Lan plugin for TC.
Thanks !
Not sure there are drivers available for Mac, I remember others having the same problem with the S5 unless something has changed since then
Thanks for your answer, in fact my question was more like "how to access to my LAN connected devices, and I'm a Mac user with 2 Mac connected, one on a lan connexion, the other one via wifi (MBair), and I have also 1 NAS connected to this network, in order to be able to play (for exemple) mp3 or video files located on a Mac or on the NAS from my S7, or the reverse opération, playing media files located on my S7 from from of my Mac or my internet box without having to transfer the files locally".
I managed to create sftp connexions, but that only allows file transfers, not remote playing.
In fact I would like to turn my S7 into a "regular" network connected device. I understood that Android can connect easily to windows networks and it is possible to have a network with Mac and windows devices connected together. Why not not an Android device with Mac devices to NAS devices ? I don't want to connect the S7 with a wired connection, I still want to use the wifi connection. Like my MacBook Air is connected with wifi to my local network.
I don't know if this is clear... My English is not perfect and my LAN knowingness is even more tiny...

Ah sorry I misunderstood your question
ES File Explorer can create LAN/FTP connections for playing between network connected devices
I use it for playing from my NAS to my S7
I surely made something wrong with ES Explorer, I tried it, because I couldn't create a LAN connection. Only sftp. Did you configure something special on you Mac ? I removed ES Explorer because I was overwhelmed with notifications (battery saving, etc)... And it seems that it creates internet connexions even when I don't use it.

I'm not using a Mac, the connection it makes is LAN so should work on both PC and Mac alike / anything with network access
The free version of ES File Explorer is full of ads, I bought the Pro version
Left Hamburger menu > Network > LAN > + sign for making a new connection > Enter IP address of NAS and login
(Or press the top scan button to auto discover)
You can create FTP server connections on the phone using ES too afaik but have not done that yet, I used to use FTP Server app on the play store for that, and FileZilla Client on the PC (Any FTP client Mac alternative will work)
Thanks, no problem to access the NAS (with ES FE) but I have this message when trying to connect to my Mac : (personal English translation...) "the server you want to configure needs SMB 2.0. Please first unlock it"...

Looks like a limit of the Mac
Some suggestions I found:
If you're trying to connect to a mac, take it from me and give up on AFP & SMB.
Just follow wrxtasy's advice and use NFS with NFS Manager. It works perfectly.
It takes a little in the setup, but it's worth it.

Networking with non OSX computers is always a nightmare. With ES FE or TC I can create a ftp connexion without problems. And Ia can access to my NAS. The issue with to connect to the Mac's HD... Thank you for your link, I'm gonna try this.
Sorry I don't have a Mac to help further
File Explorer is a file management app on Android. It helps you to access your files not only on Android device, but also on PC, Mac, NAS and cloud storages (Dropbox, Google Drive etc). Stream movies and songs from computer, NAS to your Android device. Directly view photos, documents without downloading.

Ok, thanks for your time !
If someone has another idea... I can't believe that I'm the only human being trying to connect an Android device to a mac...
Hi,
We have an industrial equipment that is running a VNC Server. I have bought an Android TV box to connect to the equipment with a VNC Client. The Android TV Box is connected to a 65 inches television. I'm able to connect to the equipment's VNC server and it is rendered on the big screen TV. The VNC Client is "bVNC free", an open source VNC client. The Android TV Bos is running Android 10.
What I would like to achieve, is on bootup of the Android TV Box, have the VNC Client automatically connect to the VNC Server, unattended to a specific IP address.
Is there anyone that has a solution on how to achieve that?
Thanks!
I just purchased the above device planning to use it to replace my Raspberry Pi Zero W in my media system. I have been controlling the pi via SSH from my laptop and have an sftp share to it for file transfers from my laptop. I mostly made use of vlc on the pi this way, which worked quite well.
Obviously I will usually be using the remote with the device when I want to select and view video content. But when I am working with music and internet radio it is more convenient to do so from my laptop where I have an actual keyboard.
Obviously the TVision environment differs from the Raspbian running on the pi, so I doubt that I can take the same approach with it. I am working now to take advantage of the fact that it is a Chromecast device, which allows me to manage internet radio from my laptop via stream2chromecast. What I still need is a way to load media onto the device from my laptop, preferably via a share of some sort, and to be able to initiate or change playback there from the laptop.
I have installed vlc on the device, but from what I can tell there is no support in this version for using one of its remote control interfaces included. Of course this is the android version of vlc, so even if I can install and use an SSH connection to the device I don't know how to interact with it from the terminal window.
Has anyone worked with this device and found a way to do what I want to with it? Has anyone taken a similar approach with another Google TV device that should work here?
