yeah, i just registered to second this.
smb would be great cus it's easy to update stuff like ini files and arrange stuff using smb.
i think it'll make me use it as a dashboard rather than evox.
please please please put it in.

this is a feature i'd really like, as i hope to have several xboxes in my house each with a different primary function. i'm planning to have an xbox for games (avalaunch), one for movies (xbmc, in the living room) and one for music (xbmc, in my stereo system). with the samba server, i'd be able to access the stereo system xbox via samba to play music in my living room on the movies xbox, as well as be able to access the movies and music from my pc. i also live with several other people who have an xbox and/or pc and would like access to both movies and music. so basically for me, this would be a great function to have. duo, if you're out there, i'd be eternally grateful if you could port the samba server code to xbmc.

hi all.
my first concern, the one that i'm working on when i have the time, is to get fully functional samba client code working. once that is done, i do have plans to get a samba server working but that could be a ways off.

the real use for this would be an elegant way to stream media and transfer files between xboxs (xboxen). would makes things like taking your xbox over to a friends network and transfering games real easy like. a definite improvement over just using ftp...
