I was not able to WRITE to my external hard drives that are connected to my NVIDIA SHIELD TV from my Linux Mint notebook over my network.
I would get a "dropped connection" error. With the release and improvement of Trisquel in version 8.0, i decided to give it a shot.
I was able to write to the drives connect to the NVIDIA SHIELD. I am not however able to download torrents directly to them. When I try to set the download location in Transmission, the NVIDIA shield does not appear in the "Computer" section.

Interesting to note that Linux Mint would not even write to them in the file explorer but Trisquel had no problem.
Trisquel is FLOSS and contains not even binar blobs of proprietary code in the linux kernel and is often criticized for lack of multimedia support and extra features that are only available with proprietary software.....so its very nice to see it working better out of the box than linux mint!!!

If anyone could help me with this, it would be very much appreciated.
Crypto reward for anyone who can successfully help.

Thank you.
