I just received my Z9S and it is just about perfect for what I need. I am able to play all of the files I need to from a connected hard drive. I have a number of home movies on a drive connected to my iMac. I have been able to access and play these from an Nvidia Shield using Kodi but am not able to access these in the Z9S. When I connect to the Mac SMB I enter the correct username and password but then it tells me they are not correct. I read about installing SMBup but that does not run on Mojave. If I can get this to work this will be the perfect machine for me. Any suggestions would be very welcome! Thanks Ray Nist
