Geeting my Xbox to read MP3s from my Dreambox? Help needed!

[jay_c]

I have about 20GB of mp3s on my dreambox and I have a modded Xbox running the latest xbox media centre.

What I want to do is allow my xbox to read its mp3s from the dreambox.

I have edited the .xml file in the xbox media centre with the IP address of my dreambox and the folder where the MP3s are kept but i keep getting "access denied"

Any ideas folks?

Thanks

I suppose the XBOX doesn't recognize the linux file system...

The xbox is now running a linux OS as its been modded.

I can find info about people watching the dreambox via the xbox by streaming the data but I just can't get it to map to the dreambox.

Add also the xbox IP adress in /etc/hosts
At least it helped in my case, using the same configuration.

You can also turn XBMC logs a little bit more verbose to see what is wrong...

Here is my smb.conf:

~ > more /etc/smb.conf
[global]
log level = 1
load printers = no
guest account = root
log file = /tmp/smb.log
security = share
server string = DreamBOX network services
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = DreamBOX
null passwords = yes
dead time = 15
keepalive = true
wins support = no
client code page = 850
character set = ISO8859-1
preserve case = yes
case sensitive = yes

[Configuration]
comment = Configuration files - take care!
path = /var
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

[Harddisk]
comment = The harddisk
path = /hdd
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

[My Music]
comment = My Music
path = /hdd/music
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

[My Videos]
comment = My Videos
path = /hdd/movie
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

[My Pictures]
comment = My Pictures
path = /hdd/pictures
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

Got it sorted in the end. Think it was all because the xbox is case sensitive! Took 6 hours before i worked it out!

1) in xbox :configure the file xbox: xbmc.xml :
<name>SMB Network Share</name>
<!-- You can use one of these following formats: !-->
<!-- smb://domain;user:password@ip/share/directory/ !-->
<!-- smb://user:password@ip/share/ !-->
<!-- Only if guest/public access is enabled: !-->
<!-- smb://ip/ !-->
<path>smb://192.168.1.*/</path>
</bookmark>
-
<bookmark>
<name>WORKGROUP (SMB) Network</name>
<path>smb://192.168.1.*/</path>

smb://192.168.1.* =your ip dreambox

in smb.conf (dreambox),configure permission and is ok!!
