i think this is very strange. why isn't it possible? (i have searched the forum, but cannot find a reason, nor any previous posts about this.) on my dreambox the samba server package is only 329 kb, which we could probably strip further. if memory is an issue, we could have an option to disable ftp and only run smb.

why not use the ftp to network brigde?
it is sofware that does this availeble that makes a ftp drive look like a network disc.
i think i read about it on the evox site.

well, that package is not running in normal ms os we are, but in linux. the problem is that samba creates new processes for each connection and ms os only support 1 process totally. ie, a pain to figure out how to port.

it would be good if i could access files on the xbox through samba from my computer, without having to ftp the whole file to the computer.

hello everybody
i make lot of wonderfull things with your great work !!
but i always wonder why i can't stream the folders files (music, pictures, video,...) from any device connected to the xbox by rj45 or better wifi. i can find the folder of my xbox on my pocket pc connected by wifi, i can copy, paste everything but never stream.
i think it's a question for the developers or may be i'm stupid.
any idea ?
thanks

hi to all__--
running the new 050205 build- works great love the new features and getting use to the new feel. just got another xbox, one with a huge hd and a database of movies on it and one with a smaller 100g drive and would like to stream media to and from. i also have to 2 pcs with samba sharing music and video from them to the both xboxes, but cant seem to get the xboxes to talk to eachother.
and does any editors still work with xbmc rather than doing it manually.
any thing that points me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

you cant run junction on the xbox. are you sure you cant set your cd rip location to a smb:// url? support for writeable shares was added.
i really dont understand why anyone would want to rip cd's from their xbox. do it on your computer. it'll be faster, and you have more encoding options.
