Hello, all. I am aware of the issue with Samba and Mac OS.
I am running the latest version of OpenElec and Mavericks on Mac.
My question is how do I get XBMC to play nice with my media on my Mac. I know there are all sorts of protocols to accomplish this but as far as I've been able to gather, the Windows SMB way is best.
I can get XBMC to the right folder on my Mac but when I try to access that folder, it says operation not permitted.
I used SMBUp on my Mac and tinkered with it. I almost got it to work but every time I am going to add a folder, it asks for a username and password. I don't have one and even when I try to manage user and put one in, it still doesn't work on XBMC.
Question is "What is the best way to share media on my Mac with OpenElec XBMC?"
And can anyone please provide a step by step guide to doing so?
I feel like I get a little bit closer to 'getting it' every day with this amazing thing that is XBMC but for a complete noob, all I can say is WOW. If I didn't enjoy tinkering, I would likely have given up.
To get this ready for primetime with the family, it needs to be polished.
I need help with the polishing.
Please............
