samba problem

[mauzzz]

After upgrading from Atlantis (8.1) to Babylon (9.04.1) I can't access the samba shares on my linux NAS (a D-Link DNS-323).

I had this problem with earlier builds of Babylon except build 20374. See:

http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=338192

These are the specs:
XBMC Babylon (9.04.1)
ATV 2.4
Launcher 3.1

XBMC ~/.smb/smb.conf

[global]
lanman auth = yes
name resolve order = bcast host
dos charset = CP850
workgroup = WORKGROUP

DNS 323 /etc/samba/smb.conf

xbmc.log (loglevel 3, cleaned out original user/passwd)
http://pastebin.com/m468d321c

XBMC fails with:

unix_err:'16' error : 'Invalid argument'

Fixed it by upgrading the NAS to its latest (beta) firmware (1.08). Can access the shares with XBMC now.

I have the same problem - how is the 1.08 BETA firmware? Seems to be a lot of bugs. Did you lose any data when updating?

Thanks

I didn't loose any data. You might want to wait for the final firmware which will be out within a week according to the dlink forum.

The fix might be that with 1.08 dlink has upgraded from samba 2 to 3. This is of course off-topic for the xbmc forum so lets move any followup to the dlink dns 323 beta forum.

Thanks mauzzz - I think I'll hold off for a week then and grab the final.

Appreciate the help.

Newer versions than 9.04.1 should allow you to use your dns-323 without upgrading.

Just upgrade XBMC.

I upgraded to 1.8 beta bios for DNS-323. I can browse the volume much better now (no weird artifact files) but I still can't play them.

I am running the latest XMBC already- 9.04.1

The DNS-323 has been a tremendous disappointment to me.

9.04.1 is not the latest. DNS has been great for me.
