Following Leogansky's procedure and a little extra steps, I succeded installing Samba on
O!Play's internal memory! Due to small available internal memory of O!Play, I didn't install
Nano, OpenSSH and Transmission.
Since there is no security, I recommend sharing of O!Play only in your LAN.
So no external stick or drive partition necessary for this.
In order to share drives connected to USB connector of Asus O!Play HDP-R1 do the following:
1. Plug in Asus O!Play's USB connector a Stick containing (in root folder):
(do not use USB HUB; just plug the stick into O!Play's USB connector)
install.img 1.17P Asus O!Play Firmware
(download from asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=sPkRGUeRrpiVYl5K&content=download)
SAMBA.tgz Archived image of Samba for Asus O!Play 1.17P
(build and archived on Asus O!Play 1.17P)
(Use of procedure on different firmware on your oun risk)
mk-share Coppy procedure
You may download the above two files as .zip archive here:
4shared.com/file/214888481/63b65f1a/Share_OPlay.html
This will work from a regular Windows stick format (FAT); (No need of linux partition)
2. Using remote controll, update your O!Play HDP-R1 firmware to 1.17P
(I have tryed only 1.17P; it should work also with 1.17N - on your oun risk)
(1.18 will not work this way due to WenQuanYiZH.ttf which is no more present)
Set Network IP to fit your LAN
3. Connect with telnet to O!Play
User name: root, no password neded
4. execute the following commands at prompt
/ # mount / -o remount,rw
/ # cp /usr/local/bin/Resource/arial.ttf /usr/local/bin/Resource/WenQuanYiZH.ttf
/ # cp /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/mk-samba /
/ # /mk-samba
/ # /opt/bin/smbpasswd -a root
Set a password at the prompt of the above command
You should be able now to access your O!Play with File Explorer in Windows XP Pro;
Under Wista Home I couldn't access O!Play; it might not be possible and I didn's waste time
with this issue; feel free to dig and let us know the solution
You may now connect your external drive to O!Play.
I was able to transfer files via ethernet while O!Play playing HD movie.
Good Luck !
Once again, thanks to Leogansky,

Note: 'mk-samba' is:
#!/bin/sh
mount / -o remount,rw
cp /usr/local/bin/Resource/arial.ttf /usr/local/bin/Resource/WenQuanYiZH.ttf
mkdir /usr/local/etc/optware
ln -s /usr/local/etc/optware/ /opt
tar -x -f /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/SAMBA.tgz -C /opt
echo "\\n" >> /usr/local/etc/rcS
echo "# Samba !!!" >> /usr/local/etc/rcS
echo "/usr/local/etc/optware/startup" >> /usr/local/etc/rcS
