I got a setup working with WMC running on a WIndows 7 64x bit system, and a Linux ARM client. I wanted to share my findings, in case someone else was struggling as I was with a couple of specifics.
With serverWMC on the WMC box, under the folders tab
- set the recording path to use a path that is UNC, but without the server "name" .. but rather its IP. I originally had \\HTPC\Users\Public\Recorded TV, but needed to be \\192.168.83.112\Users\Public\Recorded TV
- check the credentials checkboxm and provide a name that does not include the server name. I originally had \HTPC\HTPC (without a password), and needed to change it to simply HTPC (again, with no password)
Those two were pieces I was not aware of, nor could I find a specific example showing a linux connection to the WMC share.
Once these were done, I was able to stream live TV. Performance was sub-par, but I expect that for the time being as my server is connected wirelessly, as is the client .. so its a double-wireless hop.
I do more testing this weekend with the server wired, and the client wireless (which is my target setup) and see if all bodes well.
