File sharing from xbmc to windows
#1
hey guys,
i'm trying to set up my xbmc/kodi on a rasp.
i have a HDD which is connected to the rasp and i want to share its folders so i can see them on windowns.
i managed to share folders FROM my pc (win), but i want it also the other way around...
any help?

What distribution of operating system did you use?
Some come with samba installed but on some you have to specifically install it.
You can look in Networks on Windows and see if your Pi shows up, in that case you have samba installed and it is just a matter of configuring the share on the hard drive. Done in /etc/samba.conf if I remember correctly (on RaspBian).

RaspBMC:
Steps to enable Samba Server:
Kodi > Programs > RaspBMC settings > System Configuration > Enable Samba Server > Ok

OpenElec:
Kodi > Programs > Program Add-ons > Openelec Configuration > Services > Samba > Enable Samba

first of all, THX GUYS!

Bosse_B: i have RaspBMC and samba is enabled.
i dont know the sambba.conf file because i was given this rasp almost completly set up.


wrxtasy: i tried following the second link but when i try to go into the rasp ip i get to this page:

also, when trying to access the media library for example it cant find it.
dont know if it helps but i can see the xbmc as a media device in network places and somtimes i see it as a computer but i have no idea what domain it is on, or what is my username\password. how can i find this information??
