Hi,
Let me start by saying I'm completely new to this, never used Linux, or am any good with "coding".
I have a ACER Revo and installed XBMC Live! on it. Now I have another PC in a different room with all my videos and movies on it, which is a Windows 7 PC.
Using XBMC Live! Camelot 9.11
My Windows PC is called : Fatal1ty
My Network (aka the windows default name of "WORKGROUP") is : CYBERDYNE
Main Video folder in Windows : "My Movies"
Now in XBMC I do this :
Videos >
Add Source >
Windows SMB (I think it is... has a red network looking icon) >
CYBERDYNE >
Fatal1ty >
"ERROR" "FUNCTION NOT IMPLEMENTED"
...And that's as far as I can get! I have disabled password protected sharing in Windows 7 and my main folder "My Movies" is listed as Share with everyone in the advanced sharing settings.
Completely baffeled here... Been trying this for 2 months now! (Since I bought the Revo)... Please Help!!
You need to update Karmics SMB library. For some unknown reason the update repos are left out of Lives sources.list, so you must add them manually.
Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb [url]http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb [url]http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb [url]http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] karmic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
Then do a sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Right... Is there like a step-by-step *detailed* guide to do this. Like I said I've never used Linux before, only Windows, so I'm used to having everything in a graphical interface with a click of the mouse... This is all completely new to me, I have no idea where to start with the above?
Assuming you have a keyboard connected to the HTPC:
Hit CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to the console.
Log in with username/password, eg. xbmc/xbmc
Type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the entries in my post above.
Hit CTRL+X, then answer y to save.
Back at console type: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
When finished do a reboot with: sudo reboot
doing these steps I get the following message after rebooting:
"XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. Install an appropriate graphics driver. Please consult XBMC Wiki for supported hardware."
I am using a Acer AspireRevo U1600, so I am not sure what this did but the only thing I could do was reinstall the XBMC live OS. I was also having the problem accessing any of my shares on my Windows 7 machine.

Same thing happened to me after I updated the repos by following arco's post.
However, I did this once before about 3 weeks and it worked perfectly for my Win 7 shares. Something must have changed in the Karmic updates within those 3 weeks. Now I'm back to square one again

I found a workaround if you do 'ip address\networkshare' that seems to resolve it, problem though if the address is done by DHCP it may change which will not work, luckily the machine I am connecting to is a static IP address.

Glad I am not the only one; samba is not working here as well....

After literally hours of testing older versions which had their own issues i found this build from me ol' mate at XBMCFreak. Downloaded his build for XBMCLive created the USB bootable and it worked!!!! Check it out at
http://www.xbmcfreak.nl/downloads/ note that this doesnt have drivers in it for ATI/AMD and is built for Nvidia Ion but works ok with a standard set up with Nvidia GPU
Hope this helps
