Connecting to SMB Servers with Extender HD200: invalid directory

[jwillsey]

Hello,

Just hooked up my HD200 and want to let it scan my video/picture/audio libraries on my server, which is password protected based on directory/share.

When browsing to my server, I just get "invalid Directory"

Is there away to manually add my smb paths with user/pass so that the extender can browse them?

Last I heard, there's no way to specify user/pass for share access.

For me at least this makes it so this box can't work as a stand-alone player.

Me too, pretty much. Though it doesn't bother me much because I just run it in Extender mode all the time anyway.

I have this same problem. So I removed the password from my main media server and I still get "invalid directory" when I try to access it from the HD200. For the first 2 or 3 times I tried it, I could see my shares on the HD200, but when I went inside any of them them, I just got the "invalid directory", but now this last couple of times I've been trying, I can't even see any of my shares anymore on either of 3 different computers on my network. I've power-cycled the HD200 3 times and still can't even see any shares at all. Frustrating...

I think you need to give access to "Guest" with no password (I got it working for one share, but don't really remember how anymore).
