hi,

i've looked for hours and played with the api, but i can't get it to work.

can i pass an smb filename to xbmc.player().play()?

is it in the format smb:\\share\\path\filename?

if it's not supported, any suggestions? i've seen the python smb class, and am thinking i could copy the file locally and play it from there (yuk!.

thanks,
brad.

i play video files in mytv.py over smb so i'd imagine playing mp3 files wouldnt be a problem.

look for 'xbmc.player()' in mytv.py

be careful about the path. i think you might need a forward slash? not sure though.

the proper smb path format is "smb://share/path/filename"

good luck!
