Connecting via samba using macOS

Hello,

I’m trying to connect using my Mac to stream my videos to heresphere. I have set up sharing via my Mac preferences but confused how to input my samba settings in the heresphere. Heresphere UI keeps saying connection issues when I add my account and password to my Samba network 

I know my samba setting are correct snd working because it connects to Skybox VR and Pigasus VR Media Player with now issue.  

Please help (with photos if possible) how to enter/connect my samba  using macOS to heresphere.

First box is your Mac's host name or IP address, like MyMacName or 192.168.X.X. Second is username. Third is password. On the second line, the first box is the share folder name, like VRMovies. The share folder name is needed on Mac, because HereSphere currently can't list SMB shares for Mac. It can only list the contents of the share itself. I'll be adding support for SMB1 in the future, which should provide better SMB share listing capabilities. If it's still not connecting, try restarting your Mac.

I'd recommend looking into setting up XBVR to stream your videos with HereSphere, though. It provides tags, thumbnails, and other useful features.

I'm having this same issue and dealing with it for hours on a mac.
