Hi guys
I had CP,SB and SAB setup and all working perfectly on a win7 machine.
I have an unraid server setup that stores everything under a share that looks like this
Media
-------------------
I******** I **********I
Movies TV Music
The share "Media" was then mapped as the E drive
But due to constant lags in XBMC and random reboots I decided to give Ubuntu a go as half my SSD was taken up with windows after it installed
I installed CP fine and added all my details but when I get to the part "Manage" movies Im a bit stuck.
On my Win7 machine I was able to map my network drives (A,B,C,D,E etc). When I went to "Manage" movies I was able to go to Media (E) (cant remember exactly how it looked) and select it. But when I look for the network drive in Ubuntu I cant find it at all and I cant find anything to do with the drives
So...for example - When I have XBMC installed I can go to “Videos”, then “Select Source”.
It brings me up a list of ways for xbmc to communicate with my unraid tower. I use smb as I have one Ubuntu machine and one Win7.
But when Im in couch potato and I want to add my movies there is no option to add the movies via smb.
I looked through all my folders but cant find a way to select the tower. This is on the Ubuntu computer I should mention
I can see and access the network share if I click on it under "Network" or in the Ubuntu sidebar. So its picking the tower up over smb but not giving me anywhere to select the folders from it in CP
I have a win7 laptop that I use to edit files/folders so thats why I want to use smb and not NFS.
I dont have a clue about linux really so be gentle please. Hope someone can help.
Thanks
