Hi;

I got XBMC working on my windows 7 pc. The database is on an ubuntu server (mysql).
The media files are stored on this server with samba.(path: //192.168.1.109/wdred/data/media)
I made an advancedsettings, sources and password file. (see below)

I copied those to the userdata folder on my laptop. XBMC works here too, no problem loading library/playing movies.

I installed XBMC on my android phone.(nightly build jan 30) Copied the same setting files to the userdata folder.
Now when I go to Files and click the remote share, it prompts for a username/password. But each time it gives the error : could not connect to network server
Using ES File explorer, i can perfectly browse the smb share and play movies.
Also for some reason I can't find any logs on android. There is no 'Cache' folder where the logs should be. And yes, i enabled debugging mode. Even set loglevel to 3 in the advancedsettings file. But no logs anywhere ...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated![/php]

Update...

I found the log file. It was in temp folder ^^

i think this is what i'm searching for :

int XFILE::CSMBDirectory::OpenDir(const CURL&, CStdString&) - Using authentication url smb://USERNAMEASSWORD@sambaserver/wdred/Data/Media
21:49:29 T:1567853144 ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://USERNAMEASSWORD@sambaserver/wdred/Data/Media'
unix_err:'d' error : 'Permission denied'


So he isn't getting permissions from the samba server?

update 2 ...

Found this : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119426

Enabled guest access on the share and now it works!

But why does the guest access needs to be on? I provide a valid username / password for the samba share...

I really don't know why, but it was working only once :-(
