SAMBA-Server built-into XBMC (share SMB/CIFS from Xbox)

pozze · 2003-10-05, 23:19

i'd like to be able to read from my xbox though smb. would be nice to for instance mount a network drive on my computer with the contents of my xbox.

phlashman · 2003-10-14, 01:21

yeah, i just registered to second this.

smb would be great cus it's easy to update stuff like ini files and arrange stuff using smb.

i think it'll make me use it as a dashboard rather than evox.

please please please put it in.

i third this! *this would make my xbox a true media centre if i can stick a large harddisk in my xbox and store all my movies/mp3s on it then mount the xbox drive on my laptop via smb!!!

...then please ask the nice man (duo) in a very polite way if he would not mind porting the samba server after he's finished porting the client code over xbox and into xbmc

hihi

mr duo sir, it would be awfully splendid of you if you could port the samba server code to xbmc after you have finished your excellent work porting the samba client code! *

pozze · 2003-10-17, 22:05

duo, you will be my hero if you port the samba server code to xbmc!! (is duo on this forum, or should we kiss ass somewhere else?)

**Gamester17** · 2003-10-17, 23:59

this is a feature i'd really like, as i hope to have several xboxes in my house each with a different primary function. *i'm planning to have an xbox for games (avalaunch), one for movies (xbmc, in the living room) and one for music (xbmc, in my stereo system). *with the samba server, i'd be able to access the stereo system xbox via samba to play music in my living room on the movies xbox, as well as be able to access the movies and music from my pc. *i also live with several other people who have an xbox and/or pc and would like access to both movies and music. *so basically for me, this would be a great function to have. *duo, if you're out there, i'd be eternally grateful if you could port the samba server code to xbmc.

hi all.

my first concern, the one that i'm working on when i have the time, is to get fully functional samba client code working. once that is done, i do have plans to get a samba server working but that could be a ways off.
