Hi all
I'm a long time user of XBMC on the original XBOX. One of my systems died and after some searching for a simple system to access ISO files I came across mrmc. I can download it onto my fire stick and update it without any extra steps.
Onto the problem. I haven't been able to use it due to the fact I can't access my files with smb sharing. Searching times out. With XBMC I always just searched with smb and it would find my shared drives. I am using external hard drives connected to my computer to store and access my files. I am able to access file from other computers and XBMC on the same network.
Help would be appreciated.
1. No user installed addons are supported, python or otherwise.
2. No, they really are not supported.
3. They are not coming back
4. Read from 1. again

what SMB server are you connecting to? if its OSX or Win 10 you will need to use libdsm
Settings -> services ->SMB client -> use libdsm for smb servers
I'm using Windows 7. I tried changing setting from reading previous posts, but when I did the smb option was no longer available to browse by. I have also tried I sharing and reshaping the drives and movie folders in the drives. Restarting the computer and fire stick. Shutting off firewall.

Re: smb sharing
With the way libdsm works you will need to punch in the IP address of your win server
When adding the share, look for "add network location"

Re: smb sharing
Thanks for your help and patience. Found add network location. Protocol set for Windows network SMB, type in IP address of my windows 7 computer on the network as the server name. Left shared folder blank as well as user name and password. I have my network settings set up to not require them because it always gave trouble for XBMC. When I hit ok it continues to ask for username and password.amet wrote:With the way libdsm works you will need to punch in the IP address of your win server

Re: smb sharing
We will look into password issue, in the meantime try setting the user/pass to verify you can get the share.

Re: smb sharing
Added password and user name and have connected and now working on setup. Never needed password for smb in XBMC. I'll probably have to go into my XBMC on my original Xbox and input the username and password. Maybe do that another night. Thanks again for the help. I'll be back soon with more questions I'm sure.amet wrote:We will look into password issue, in the meantime try setting the user/pass to verify you can get the share.
