Multi computer network?
#1
Hey all thanks for XBMC just started using it and i think its ace!

I currently have 3 computers on my home network; one macbook pro on wireless, one vista 64 PC wired and one ubuntu PC wired (there is more but they arnt relevant atm). The ubuntu one has the video stored on it and the video has been shared using samba (SMB). The PC seems to find the video fine however the mac is having some strange problems.

Finder picks up the all the computers and the folders n the network just fine but in XBMC the only thing that shows up are the other macbooks in the house.

I have set the workgroup and everything in the settings.

Can anyone help me?

try mounting the linux volume at startup. drag an alias of the drive into the startup items in System Pref/Accounts

Then look in /Volumes/ for the drive in XBMC

will that cause any problems if the linux box isnt always switched on? and will it still show up ok if its switched on while the macbook is already on?
