[LIVE] Accessing external HDD's through network
#1
Hi everyone.

I have an XBMC 10.1 live installation running on an ION HTPC. All of my content is located on external HDD's.
I've already set up my system so I can acces my media folders through my wireless network (using this tutorial http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/xbmc-ion/module/7) I would like the ability to also acces my external drives in the same way.
I tried searching for answers on this board and the wiki, to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this, keeping in mind that I'm quite a noob concerning Linux.

Thanks alot!

Im a noob too so dont take my word on it but i think you just add references to those drives.

So you just add a few more references and change the path (marked in bold) to the external drives.

They will probably be something like /mnt/devicenamehere


[xbmc]
comment = XBMC Share
path = /home/xbmc
force user = xbmc
inherit permissions = yes
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
XBMC-ATV2 - Frodo
XBMC-LR - Zotac Zbox Plus - 36gb SSD - 3Gb Mem - Frodo
XBMC-BR - Foxcon 330i - 16gb SSD - 2Gb Mem - FrodoRc3
XBMC-Mini - MacMini - 128Gb OCZ Agility - 5Gb Mem - Frodo - Running SQL - Auto Library Update
Synology DiskStation Ds1512+(Dsm 4.3-3776) - 4gb Mem - 5*3tb Wd Reds [SHR] - 2GB Bonded Link - (SSD Cache WIP)

Thanks for the help! Worked like a charm.

FYI for anyone also trying this, the path info is cap sensitive. Would have saved me 5 minutes if I had known this Smile

Linux, and other *NIX based OSs are case sensitive. Always have been.
