Windows Shares with Imported Media
I have setup a test linux server and am attempting to access music, photos and videos that are on a Windows share. I found that using the Sage UI to navigate to "Network" and then selecting the smb share does not work.
I can access the share if I smbmount it first. Is this normal and is there a way to access the Windows share without mounting it? I only access the shares once in a while so I do not want to keep them mounted. Thanks, Tom

Tom, when you are connecting to a windows share from linux (which is probably something most linux users are not doing), are there any error messages in the sagetv_0.txt log file? Sage uses jcifs (i think) so it should be able to browse the samba shares, but I'm wondering if there is some error int he sagetv_0.txt that might shed some light on it.
also, becuase they are using jcifs, then I don't think that specifying the path as \\sharename\folder will work, i think you will need to use a uri format like, smb://sharename/folder.

I'm doing it with an smbmount. I mount the server (from /etc/fstab) as /mnt/myserver, and have a subdirectory in each of /var/media/{videos, music, pictures} that's a symbolic link to the appropriate subdirectory of /mnt/myserver.
Maybe there's a better way, but it works. |

Thanks Sean and loonsailor. I'll look in the log to see if anything is in there. I'll try manually specifying the uri to see if that works.
I don't really mind using smbmount since this is only a test system, I just wanted to see if I was doing something fundamentally wrong. It's been a long time since I used unix ![]()

You could also try updating jcifs.
http://jcifs.samba.org/src/ SageTV seems to be using an old version. B
