Hi, a curious question. i'm running XBMCBuntu which is working great, i wanted to understand why i couldn't use XBMC samba sources.
For example inside XBMC GUI i have configured it to use a Samba shares as a source for films, works well.
Checking the sources.xml confirms the configuration "smb://servername/blah"
If i want to use the same samba source in xbmcbuntu(in the terminal for copying files etc) i cannot find it how does xbmc accesses this share, surely it still needs to mount it etc, i don't really want to have to do the same thing twice and mount a samba share with the same source direction.
So in summary is there a way to leverage what XBMC already does with samba share and not configure my own (although easy enough to do) just for simplicities sake
Cheers
