Hi all, finally got a bigger newer harddrive for those that have seen my other thread so im having another crack at setting it up.

My question this time is how do I set up my main computer to share files to my "slave" computer that has live on it and then how do I link to the files on live??


Previously I could see the files via upnp when I had XBMC with XP on the slave computer now however with just the live setup I cant anymore so can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Craig

Can you see the shares on your main computer through smb?

I have LIVE running on an Acer Revo which connects to use media stored on my XP PC.

Share the folders on the PC where the content (video, audio, etc.) is located; I've permissioned the shares to only be accessible from a single account on the PC (you have to specify the ID & password in LIVE as you're connecting to the share) but I don't think you have to do it that way.

Then, from the LIVE box, simply add a new SMB network share and browse to the PC that has the content. LIVE will start off by showing you your workgroup name (if it's Windows), then the NETBios computer names in the group, then the individual shares on each host.
