[APP][2.2+] MiXplorer v6.x Released (fully-featured file manager)

[IronTechmonkey]

Down the SMB rabbit hole again

Ohhhhhhh… The bookmark “display name” goes in the “display name” field, not in the password field. Forehead slap! With that sorted out, new MiX to MiX SMB bookmarks can be created like so:

Add storage > LAN (Samba) > search local* > select > append port and enter credentials > Save.

Those worked for connecting from Android with MiX as client but not for PCs. Here are some observations.

- In the “search local” results PCs and linux boxes with SMB shares are visible at the top of the list preceded by special character, and displaying the DNS name and IP address, and with customary SMB port 445 already appended.

- One exception to the previous is that, while creating a MiX SMB bookmark to a MiX SMB server running on the same device, then the “search local” results also include that MiX server on the same device in the top section with name and IP and port (not necessarily 445).

- Where there is any dependency on DNS and DHCP there is potential irregularity.

- In the “search local” results the target server in this test is listed as unknown and does not include port, but it worked after appending port as described above. This occurs even if the customary port 445 is set for the server.

- As to PCs, enabling the Windows 10 SMB client component did not help nor did I expect it to since it is not needed for any other devices. While doing some research I did find some cases where LAN Manager authentication level settings had an impact on SMB access.

General details:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...trict-ntlm-ntlm-authentication-in-this-domain

NTLMv1 NTLMv2
https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/smb-problem-on-win-10-client-fn11-rc.54316/

I wonder if MiXplorer is using that older protocol which in turn could be the limitation for PCs but I’ve got too many good SMB connections on my network to fiddle with those particular policy settings without confirmation from hootanparsa that they are needed.

That all being said, I forget, what was it that a MiX SMB server is supposed to do that cannot already be done other ways.

Looking for help... I have installed Mixplorer on Android TV.

And can't find a way how to start a slideshow with TV remote.

When I open some picture with the Image Viewer and press OK on the remote, the top header with filename and three dots on the right is visible. But I can't find a way to access this menu using tv remote. The most useful function that I miss from this menu is a slideshow. Is there any way to iniciate the slideshow from another place?

IMHO it would be nice if mixplorer can select multiple filter.

current workaround is by using regex search `gif|png|mp4|...` to list all possible file format

edit: looks like the regex search behaviour is not like filter, it's search recursively and if the path is changed then the regex is gone. With filter I can freely browse directory

 

[IronTechmonkey]

hmmm, looks like the behaviour is not what I want from filter feature. It's search recursively and if I move to other folder the regex is gone .

Using filter I can freely browse folder and only file got filtered

Pasting from FAQ to cover it here as well:

If you save the search as a bookmark you should still have a reusable item with which to access that material. With the "current folder" selected it won't be recursive. Unfortunately once the bookmark is saved the search parameters cannot be modified as in a live search, for instance to toggle "current folder", so this is not as amenable to quick changes on the fly as are toggle-able filters would be. I like using the search function because of the level of detail, down to the individual file extensions but it's not as dynamically flexible as multiple filter selection would be.

After years of free use. Finally i use the playstore version. Thanks for the amazing work.

Hi,

I can't copy files from my phone to my PC with MiXplorer, but I can with other apps like ES File Explorer.

Any chance you forgot to take the path that lets you specify a username to be used on the PC when you made the Mixplorer bookmark, but you remember with all the other file explorers that you say work?

These are my settings
and this is the path that I'm using ftp://192.168.1.120:2121/ in FileZilla Client and Windows Explorer

Those pictures do not make it clear to me that you ever succeed. Doesn't the first picture (from your first post) show a failure copying?

When I said path, I meant procedure, work flow: At what point do you tell any client what username to use?

On which computer are you running a server? What program are you using?

To @J.Michael's point it has not been clear specifically what you are doing. For troubleshooting you want to describe events down to the individual actions, e.g. tap this and swipe that. You can refer to post seven of this FAQ regarding the type of details to provide and how to log an issue.... but before that...

Also, have you reviewed the FAQ post about configuring servers and have configured a user account for the server as described? If so then I'm puzzled about why Filezilla is attempting anonymous access as it should be using the credentials you configured in MiX.

I'm using the default settings on MiXplorer, and I didn't give a username or password to Windows Explorer or FileZilla Client when I was trying to connect to the server.

This is the log file from MiXplorer and a gif for the issue.

Thanks for the details, those will help the developer pursue a solution if this turns out not to be the simple credential configuration issue it seems to be, but speaking to the possible configuration issue....

As my previous post implies and as the documentation to which you were referred states: MiXplorer servers require creation of an account username and password, therefore since you must create credentials in MiXplorer you must configure matching credentials in the FTP client.

From here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mixplorer-q-a-and-faq-user-manual.3308582/post-65157350

This:
"Account settings"
"There must be one account (which is equivalent to a username and password configured for the server in the previous MiXplorer versions). Multiple accounts can be created for the same server with each account having different credentials and offering different type of access"

I recommend reviewing the rest of the server documentation as well to make sure you've got known requirements taken care of.

Same here with slightly different behavior on 2 devices tested with .mpg and .ogg files in user created folder off root of internal SD.

Stock Moto A11 rooted with Magisk + toast stating "failed".
Stock Moto A10 rooted with Magisk + toast stating "failed" and then MiX app properties panel opens.

What are you doing?
Your original post said "can't copy files from my phone to my PC". You say you are using Mixplorer to run an FTP server on your phone. The video clip you posted shows an error message "cannot write to server".

With anonymous credentials it makes sense that you are not allowed to write to the server.

Maybe you are fumbling the drag-and-drop. Try selecting what you want to copy, right-click, choose Copy from the context menu; then open a Windows Explorer window at the directory into which you are trying to copy, point to empty space in the window and, again, right click, this time choose Paste.

I do not know why you do not have the same problem when you use ES File Explorer on your phone. Then again, these pictures do not show me that you had any better luck with ES File Explorer.

In ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer, and MIUI File Explorer I can start an FTP server without the need to set up a username & password.

I was able to copy files from the PC to the phone using MiXplorer after creating an account with a username and password and connecting to FTP via this path: ftp://admin:[email protected]:2121

REPOST in relation to my last post, regarding CBZ and CBR files.

You asked me to decompile it. I don't need or want to. You do. I told you what to do. If you are that worried about your privacy, take your phone, take the battery out, take the sim card out, smash phone with hammer, put sim card in microwave, heat on high about 1;30, rotate, heat on high for another 1:30. Recycle battery and smashed phone.
Privacy issue solved.
If you want power and control over apps, build an app yourself.
You are not entitled to anything from any other Developer. Devs do not need to be open source and there is absolutely no reason to continue this conversation. MiXplorer is not open source. Developer said he would make it open source but he can't because Dr. Evil wrote the code and is going to hack all devices with MiX on new year's eve so he can get the latest iphone maxxx and 1 million dollars...
Or again just search the thread and Hootan answered this numerous times. Then you can move on to those pesky devs over at google that obfuscate every file on your Android device, also with more horrible code and vulnerabilities than the rest of your apps on your phone combined.

I am myself a fan of open source apps, but i hate that people(other than developer) earning money of someone else code. An example is retro music player, this app is open source, i dig around the play store and i found atleast 10 clones of this app with in app purchases.
If mixplorer goes open source, some days later there would be clones posted on playstore and people making money of someone's hard work( more than 10 years in this case).

Can we have jpegxl support on mix image viewer?
Android app tachiyomi already supports it for manga. I think it could be nice to view jxl files in mixplorer too.
