Here is a quick breakdown of what I have:
Zotac Zbox hd-id40 w/4gb RAM and 40GB SSD
Synology DS210j NAS
What i did:
1) Installed Ubuntu 10.04 on the Zbox
2) Ran some updates and installed sickbeard and SABnzbd
3) Installed the nvidian ION2 driver
4) Installed XBMC
5) Installed the nvidia hard acceleration packages
Now from what i can tell, everything installed well. In Ubuntu i can even see my NAS under the nextwork tab and can browse the main directories.
Here is the part i cant figure out:
I got a feeling that i have two problems here:
1) I have some permissions set wrong on the NAS with my Windows File Service not configured properly.
2) Something is wrong on the Zbox side.
Please help me out here folks, i got this far but cant import my media libraries into XBMC properly!
I should also mention that my xbox and desktop pc's can see the NAS just fine and play all the videos. (but this is through DLNA/UPnP server and i understand that for xbmc it needs to work through the Windows File Service to get thumbnails, etc....)
Or am i barking up the wrong tree here? Should i be looking at configuring NFS for this access? My Synology NAS supports Samba so do i need to go that route?
....very confused right now heheh

Here is the part i cant figure out:
- Once i drill down into my NAS from Ubuntu (Zbox) to say: "/video/movies/iron man" it says i dont have permission to view this folder
- BUT, if i go into my photos folder, i can see the photos just fine, no permission errors.
- If i run XBMC and try to add a new video library, the NAS is nowhere to be seen
