Nexus 7 and Samba
#1
Frodo RC1 installed and appears to run fine.
I've installed some add ons and can watch Trailer Addict videos no problem
The only thing that doesn't work is browsing Samba shares. I have 2 other XBMC systems in the house and they can get to my NAS device no problem.
When I try to add the share manually it won't connect. When I go to the System Info, it shows proper network settings and shows there is a connection.
I even tried using the IP address for the share info and still no go.
Also, running JB 4.2.1 on the N7

Any ideas?

Never mind.. Got it figured out.. Works fine on 720x480 video. Tried a 1080p, which stuttered a lot. Will try 720p next to see how that goes

Browse doesn't seem to work, so you have to enter the whole string like so:

smb://username:password@system/share

I have my shares opened so no password is needed, so I do this:

smb://system/share

for the system I put the IP address in just in case. It would probably handle the actual system name too.
