+--- Thread: SMB shares don't work at all now?! (/showthread.php?tid=780)
- joostk - 2004-01-02
just installed the new 2004-01-02 build of xbmc and now my smb shares don't work at all! yes i did change the syntax to:
smb://workgroup;user:pass@computername/sharename
the sample xml uses domain instead of workgroup, by i don't have a domain in my local network, i use a workgroup.
good ol' xbmp 2.4 does still work with smb shares.

well a domain is pretty the same as a workgroup (only managed by a server). just enter your workgroup as domain or remove domain; from the line (it will work without this info in workgroups).
- joostk - 2004-01-02
well, that's what i did, and it doesn't work. it takes about 10 seconds for en empty folder to appear when i click on a smb share in 'my videos'. the smb shares worked fine with the 2003-12-08 build. with the new version all i did was change the syntax.

are you sure you did not set a workgoup after the @?
- joostk - 2004-01-02
yes 100% positive. i've changed the syntax carefully. cut & paste from my .xml file:
<bookmark>
<name>john</name>
<path>smb://workgroup;guest:guest@pcjohn/movies</path>
</bookmark>

you positive you have allowed guest user access?
also, remove the workgroup so that you have:
smb://guest:guest@pcjohn/movies

i've got the identical problem.
have a linux server sharing files to the xbox. worked fine under 12-31 build but not under 01-02 build.
changed the syntax to match the new format and tried with and without the workgroup name.
any ideas?
first post - by the way, i think xbmc is excellent - keep up the good work!
- joostk - 2004-01-02
no luck either. i'm also 100% positive that the credentials are correct, because the exact same shares do work with xbmp 2.4 at the moment. they just don't work with xbmc latest cvs.

no problems for me, using smb on a w2k3 server, and its fast. if this version of smb does get rid of the old problems, looks like i can do away with relax :d
is there a list of features/improvements this version of smb gives us?

could you try using an ip adres instead of your netbios name?
like smb://workgroup;guest:[email protected]/movies
also try smb://ip-adres and see what it gives ( and make sure you have enabled the guest account

are you using windows xp / 2000 / ? or linux ?
- joostk - 2004-01-02
i have different servers, one running w2k, and a few running winxp, none work with the name, only ip.
- Hullebulle - 2004-01-02
no problem for me too. so again for ll with issues this is the right syntax:
without a domain you can skip the wrokgroup info:
Quote: <bookmark>with a domain it will look like this:
<name>meta</name>
<path>smb://user:pass@mypc/myshare</path>
</bookmark>
Quote: <bookmark>
<name>meta</name>
<path>smb://mydomain;user:pass@mypc/myshare</path>
</bookmark>
