Configuring XBMC for SMB easy shares!
Link: XboxMediaCenter

Now its time to edit the XboxMediaCenter.xml file so you will be able to see the newly shared "folder" in XBMC




Add one of the following bookmarks to XboxMediaCenter.xml in the sections you want to show the shares in (My Pictures, My Music and My Movies)

<bookmark>
<name>Network My PC</name>
<path>smb://ComputerName/MySharedDrives</path>
</bookmark>

You can also add the domain name into the path
<path>smb://domain;ComputerName/MySharedDrives</path>

<bookmark>
<name>Network My PC</name>
<path>smb://IP/MySharedDrives</path>
</bookmark>




You should now see a new folder "Network My PC"




Select it and you should now see all your PC drives

Jeg har nå fulgt guidene steg for steg, men når jeg kommer så langt at jeg skal gå inn på nettverket via xbox får jeg acces denied.

Noen som vet hva som kan være feil?

I have done as you have instructed in this thread and in Win XP / Xbox: SMB Sharing

When I select from main screen e.g. MyPictures and from there MyShare I got error into xbmc.log

31-07-2005 23:17:20 ERROR SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://xboxassword@192.168.0.2/pictures/'
unix_err:'16' nt_err : 'c0000008' error : 'Invalid handle'

any idea what is causing this?

No I haven't solved it yet but I think its in windows side and not in xbox or xbmc.

Thats why I changed the thread to
Win XP / Xbox: SMB Sharing

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going insane!!!

setup: Xbox xover to pc. pc wireless to router.
boots to unleashx then i start xbmc as an app.
I can ftp to the xbox.

I tried the non secure setup and could not view the network share on the pc. It kept asking me for a username and password. I thought i would try the secure setup and i am having the same problem.

I have been reading heaps of topics but i havent seen a reply to the many people that have had the same issue.

I have the following in my file. Neither the one using the pc name or the one with the ip work...

code:

    <!-- My Music shares !-->
    <music>
        <default></default>
        <bookmark>
            <name>Music on pc</name>
            <path>smb://xbox:xbox@bob/music</path>
        </bookmark>
        <bookmark>
            <name>E Drive</name>
            <path>E:\</path>
        </bookmark>
        <bookmark>
            <name>F drive</name>
            <path>F:\</path>
        </bookmark>
        <bookmark>
            <name>music on pc ip</name>
            <path><path>smb://xbox:xbox@192.168.1.2/music</path></path>
        </bookmark>

sigh...

I try and fix a problem till it drives me nuts. Then as soon as i post a topic i work it out.

What the guides dont tell you to check is the network setup in xbmc. I had it all working in unleashx.

So for anyone else that has the same problem it was not picking up the network settings in xbmc properly.

The ip for my xbox ended in .1.3 not .0.3 as the default uses. Change this over and it connects straight away.



edit:

Fix one problem and straight into another. No i have the same problem lots of others look to be having.

Clips/photos/movies all run fine off the xbox hdd or cd/dvd. But if i try to stream even a JPG it takes ages for it to come up. If i try to load a movie across the network it takes ages for anythign to display then i get a movie that is paused more than it plays.

Can anyone help?? Looks like it might be easier to copy all my stuff onto DVDs. (dammit)

I'm getting Network My PC in the list in XBMC but when I click it I get the message "Connection Faild" (Uppkoppling misslyckades). What do you think is the problem.
