New user trying to stream files locally from my Macbook running mountain lion, latest version, with latest xbmc to my nexus 7 or galaxy s3 with latest versions of xbmc on both . Trying to stream movies from my external hard drive on my Mac to android devices using smb.
On the Macbook side smb is turned on, afp as well, and the external hard drive and folder is selected to read and write for everyone.
On the Android xbmc, both nexus 7 (2012) and galaxy s3 (us) I go to add files in the video category and click browse and then click on smb. Nothing comes up or the error 2 share not available notification pops up.
I'm a blank slate on networking and have no clue what I'm doing. I've searched our help forum and haven't been able to find anything. Tried searching for it and still can't come up with anything. I know this is still in testing but any help would be great and really appreciate it. If anyone has a step by step or a link thanks.
