mount SMB share to /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001/ ??

[dasilverpaladin]

I copied a small .avi testfile to TV memory so i could find the location where it lands.

i`m a windows geek and don`t know much about linux else i would try it myself,
could someone rewrite the SMB mounting script comming with SamyGo extensions,
think virtual usb needs rewrite too, so the SMB shares get mounted in /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001/ ??
Is this even possible?
i tried an symlink to the working vusb SMB share, the media play applictation doesn`t follow symlinks so it wasn`t shown

if i recall exactly i also saw somewhere here in the forums someone who mounted an small partition and mounted some shares in it.

i don't think exeDSP checks if directory is linked or not

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001/samba
ln -s /dtv/usb/smb/192.168.1.254/Video /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001/samba

strange thing is that seeking is much faster as over /dtv/usb, but i don't like the tvs database handling on /mtd_wiselink.
so if you like mount stuff under /mtd_wiselink feel free to change the scrips
like:
DEST_DIR=/dtv/usb/smb
to
DEST_DIR=/mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001

but i wrote earlier i wouldn't do that

thx arris,

but it didn`t work.
Tried the symlink already, as i said the media play application doesn`t recognize it so it wasn`t shown.
Changing the mount dest_dir doesn`t work too, nothing happens, it`s not mounting.

after some manual testing with folders and files in these folders i learned that the media play application
doesn`t work at all with folders when it comes to the internal memory.
No folders at all shown, no files in folders found, seems to be an limitation of some kind.
even some of the view settings are not available, like the basic view.

strange, that LExxB650 handle the internal storage different than UExxB7020, can you pls test just link 1 movie into /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001

Code: Select all

ln -s /dtv/usb/<whatever>.avi /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001

and yes B7020 also won't show folders and the device scanns the whole directory structure for movies , music & pictures. so i can mount picture directory under /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001 and device will show it too (if i select picture categorie in media player) but without folder structure, directory scan needs lot of time if i mount a directory with lot of subdirs device dont't show anything just funny indicator on right top of screen.

tried symlink for only one .avi file and it worked.
this is the correct command

Code: Select all

ln -s /dtv/usb/smb/192.168.1.3/Movie/smb.avi /mtd_wiselink/MOVIE001/smb.avi

the avi was shown as TV internal and i was able to play it, but no chance for folders...
without folders its too mutch effort to link every single file

searched for the mediaplay application, can`t find it, is it part of exeDSP?
tried to find an config file, no luck..
