Apologies for the delay. I just wanted to pop in to let you know I still love this idea and think it will be a nice addition to the opening of the FAQ. I've got to work through some computer problems on my own desk but should have this done in another day or two... And this time I'll try not to turn myself into a liar.

Hi my friend. Thank you for your good program. In the new versions of this program mixplorer and beta version, ie from version 6.48.1 onwards, this program does not install any apk and apks files. It does not install in normal mode or in root mode, and I have to use only version 6.48.1 and below. To. I tested on Android 5.0.1 to Android 9 on the Samsung i9505 S4. Please fix the bug. Thank you for your efforts. 🌺🌺

MiX is installing APK files fine, no one has mentioned this problem with recent versions. I can't reproduce it either. You should post a log in the main thread to know why it doesn't work for you.

You can report the issue as described above. Also just FYI, this thread is a Q&A thread for the MiXplorer app so it's a good place to go when exploring settings and usage but the other thread is where bug reports would be discussed. That's where the real work happens. :)

Yes, I know, I said to ask questions and answers and then report if I do not get the answer.
Thank you for your answer my friend.🌺🌺

I would suggest contacting Hootan Parsa the developer directly, since it looks like you both are in the same country and probably can communicate in the same language. ^_^
 
Yes, I used Google Translate and I hope you did not get it wrong. And in the case of mixplorer, it is unlikely that anyone would have my problem. I also tested on note 3 n9005 and it had a problem. I thought maybe a new plugin should be installed. Anyway, I was happy to talk to you my friends. Thank you for your guidance and response.

A few weeks back, I switched my Magisk to the "Global" namespace thing to enable reading other apps data from within MiX. Around the same time I also upgraded my phone, and cannot remember if I did the same on the new phone. So I just went in to check (on the new phone) if it was on "Global", but in the settings of magisk, it doesn't clearly identify which it is set to, so I don't know if its the setting or the recent batch of updates that have come through to enable it.

What is the default setting out of the three above?

On 3 devices running combinations of Moto stock and LOS ROMs and different versions of Magisk that setting is set to inherited (not changed it since installation).
T he last time I played with the mount namespace setting was with SuperSU (Chainfire's) in LOS 14 when Titanium Backup suggested it.

Pretty sure the default is "inherit". In any case you can see what it's set to on the previous screen (where you select 'Mount Namespace Mode) see image.

Wasn't too sure if this may go beyond the realm of MiX, but ill give it a go.

I am rooted, running a Pixel 4a with the latest android 11 (5 Jan 2021)

There are 2 "however s" in the following...

When I browse to the folder /storage/emulated in MiX it shows it as empty

However (No. 1), If I open an adb shell the following brings back a list of my SDCard as expected.
ls - l /storage/emulated/0;

However (No 2), if i try the same on the lower folder, I get an error (i.e. it mimics MiX)
Code:
1|sunfish:/storage # ls -l /storage/emulated
ls: /storage/emulated: Permission denied
I checked and /storage/emulated has a weird permission of 771 (no resd to group or other) and it can't be changed.

Is it this unchangeable permission or something else that is stopping MiX from managing this folder?

Hi IronTechmonkey

Is there any update plan for MIXPLORER will support SMBv3?
Smb2 is not enough for wifi 6 transfer speed, thanks
:)
Good question. IIRC it's been asked before (no implied criticism, I'm just thinking through it) but there was no answer or I missed it. I suggest searching the main thread for SMB3 and asking there (and the developer has been around this week so perhasp a quick answer).

For some reason thumbnails aren't working on SD card ONLY on silver version. Works fine with the version from XDA.

Galaxy note 8, oneui 2.5, 6.49.6 beta (XDA) VS 6.50.1 SILVER.

That's weird.

FWIW, in a clean install of Silver 6.50.1 with default settings done just now on Moto G7 Stock rooted with MiX having been given root access and permissions to access files, thumbnails are visible on external and internal SD (even before granting write access to external SD).

If you've not already done so you might consider testing a clean install of Silver with default settings. Beyond that and if no ideas emerge here, it might be worth logging and taking to the main thread.

Hi. I can't setup ftp in my seedbox. It is ftpes on port 21. I tried on another app and I connect sucefully. In mixplorer not. Any help? Thanks
You could have been a bit more specific. According to your text, am I assuming right, when I think you're running an ftp server on your seedbox and want to connect your android device to it? If yes, have you made sure, you've set the correct port in settings for the "ftp storage"?

yes. it is on port 21. it is fpes. use explicit ftp over tls if available. When i connect with solid explorer i have to accept certificate and then connects to server. on mixplorer it says wrong username or password. sorry my bad english.

Hmm... user @kubalav reported that ftp over tls is working for him:


As I don't really have experience with secure ftp connections (I've understood, there are different possibilities) I'd recommend the same as @kubalav: Please share the settings for the ftp connection and a mixplorer log in the main thread for mixplorer. As the developer is around these days (may be absent for several weeks in between) you might get an answer or even a solution soon.
