im running xbmc 1-15-04 release with evox 3935 (x2 4979). i'm using correct syntax for smb but cannot see any of my shared folders.  i'm able to see the folders and play audio,video, etc. when using xns (relax).  i'm not running any software firewalls on my xp pro computer.  here is the syntax i'm using for smb:

<bookmark>
    <name>mymusic</name>
    <path>smb://user:[email protected]/mymusic</path>
</bookmark>

this certainly appears to be correct syntax but i'm unable to see anything in xbmc.  is there anything that needs to be done on the xp pro side in order for this to work?  any help is greatly appreciated.

try using this path:
smb://domain;user:password@ip/share

then you need to share, in your case, your music folder "mymusic" in xp. share it as "mymusic", then the path should be:
smb://domain;user:password@ip/mymusic

hope this will do

x,  thanks for helping.  my winxp pro machine is in a workgroup.  i have tried using "smb://workgroup;user:pwd@server/share" and my shares still don't show up.  i'm rock solid certain that the xml file is configured just like the examples show.  here is a sample piece of my config file:

   <bookmark>
     <name>videos_pc</name>
    <path>smb://xbox:[email protected]/videos</path>
   </bookmark>
<bookmark>
     <name>xns</name>
     <path>xns://192.168.1.100:1400/</path>
   </bookmark>  


the xns works just fine, the smb shows empty folders. i don't know, maybe somethings up with my linksys router, although xns, http, ftp are all working just fine.  maybe some obscure winxp security setting is the cause.  oh well, i'll keep searching for answers!

also meant to add that my winxp shares are setup correctly with read access for "everyone".

[xGizmo]

correct me if i'm wrong but i cannot see the name of your workgroup in your config...
also rember to use semicolon to separate workgroup from user!
you say it shows empty folders, does this mean that you're able to connect but cannot see the content?

[mojo68]

tried the following:

bookmark>
<name>videos_pc</name>
<path>smb://workgroup;xbox:[email protected]/videos</path>
</bookmark>
<bookmark>
<name>xns</name>
<path>xns://192.168.1.100:1400/</path>
</bookmark>

still cannot get shares to show up with smb. whatever my problem is, i don't think it's the config file. thx.

add an additional / at the endof the share path.

had the same problem getting the new versions of media center to see my smb shares.

if your using a workgroup, try this

<bookmark>
<name>smb</name>
<path>smb://xbox:xxx@servername/share</path>
</bookmark>

for workgroup, just use xbox login name:password@pcname/name of share

be sure and not have more than one smb path. be sure that you have book mark open/close.
