Full Version: share DVD player with SMB
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
today my old xbmc based on xbox hardware has been replaced by an Apple TV.
i'm really satisfied, but i need.. a dvd player!

i don't want to make an ISO of my dvd, i want the easiest solution as possible.

i have an iMac with a folder of hard disk shared with SMB and works great. i've tried to share also the internal dvd player of Imac.
i have some problem to create a smb source:
without any disk inserted in dvd player, appleTV don't see the driver through SMB.
with a dvd inserted i can make the connection with something like this:
smb://[imac ip]:445/[title of dvd]
when i insert a different dvd it doesn't work.
How can i do to make a "generic" SMB connection working for every dvd?
thank you
