Permission issues on SMB share (was Streaming MKV issue)
#1
I'm having problems paying Some mkv files, They wont even start to play.

Im using beta 2 on my apple tv 2 Streaming from a xp laptop shared folder.

The files will only play if I remux them using mkv2vob which is a hassel.

Can anyone Point out whats causing the issue??

yep - once again ... get your permissions right on your shared drive.

Code:

try a start--run--workgroup---change workgroup name---network ID--select home computer

also with your permissions make sure that "everyone" is enabled

I set permisions for Everyone to Full Control but its still not giving me permission to play these type of mkv files,

The problem seems to be that the file is located in my shared Tv folder (where I keep all my tv shows) on drive partition D: As it plays fine when its located on c: drive in the normal shared documents- my videos folder

Could what partition the files are located in be the problem?

check the permission on that particular file and all folders above it ... it might not be a permission problem on the share, but on the filesystem itlsef...

All fixed now and Yes that was the problem, The files were not inheriting the folders permissions, I had to go into the files advanced permission settings to change this.

Thanks for the help folks Smile
