openelec and windows sharing
#1
I seem to be having issues sharing windows directories with openelec. I select a folder and click share with everyone but only some of the folders and files get shared, while others do not. Anyone know of the proper way to share windows directories with openelec so that all the folders and subfolders in the given directory are seen by openelec? Any help would be appreciated.

Is this sharing over a network or sharing files on a windows hard drive on the same machine?

Either way i suspect that there are ownership or permissions issues on the files or folders.

On linux I would run something like
Code:
cd folder_to_be_shared
chown -R nick:nick *
chmod -R 644 *
to change ownership of everything, and make them readable by everyone. I'm sure there is a similar mechanism in windows. First thing is, compare the permissions and ownership of some files that are and aren't being shared properly.
