D5700 Virtual USB Server and shared files

[Bausparfuchs]

Hi, maybe anyone could give me a hint to handle the following problem:

After using Samygo to stream from my Samba share for a while in March/April, I did not use it during summer. Last week I updated SamyGo and wanted to use my Samba shares again. Therefore I followed the new instructions from the wiki to get a virtual USB drive where SamyGo mounts my samba shares. The one Problem I am facing now is that the TV does not see any share when I start SamiGo extensions. Howewer, when I manually run

Code: Select all

http://MY_IP/cgi-bin/test.cgi?/mtd_down/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO/etc/init.d/04_04_samba.init+start

after starting the extensions on the TV, all shares are displayed. It seems as if SamyGo does not really execute the samba init script automatically. Any idea how to fix that? Thanks in advance

Any hints, what to check?

Thanks

you could write your ip and login data right to script or create smb_userdata on usb.

I have a TP-Link router. I set samba share with wiki, but I cannot see my shares on my router. Here is a manual for setup, but I set router IP, and nothing under "manual" folder:
http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=420

I see this in log:

Code: Select all

YOUR_IP=192.168.0.1
+ mkdir -p /dtv/usb/sdm/router
+ /bin/busybox mount -o rw,user=user,password=password,codepage=cp1250,iocharset=utf8 -t cifs //192.168.0.1/ /dtv/usb/sdm/router
mount: mounting //192.168.0.1/ on /dtv/usb/sdm/router failed: No such device or address

What's wrong? Why not see my router share?

Check if you can mount yout samba on your windows or another linux pc. If not, set-up your router properly first. Here is not place to troubleshoot not to TV related problems.

From your cmd line i understood you haven`t specified samba share directory. Check google with keywords "mount cifs", "linux samba server" and so on.

HELP!!!

I deleted backslash from "//$YOUR_IP/" to "//$YOUR_IP", and my TV reboot, if start SamyGo! I cannot open FTP or any connection. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

### MANIOOTEK MANUAL MOUNTING ###
YOUR_IP="192.168.0.1/volume9"
mkdir -p "$DEST_DIR/router"
/bin/busybox mount -o "${M_OPTS}" -t cifs "//$YOUR_IP" "$DEST_DIR/router"	
### MANIOOTEK MANUAL MOUNTING END ###

Update: I reinstalled SamyGo, and replace my 04_04_samba.init file, and now working.

Just a question: why get this message from tv: folder cannot read? I tried later and can open, but later I get message again. Why not read correctly all folders and files?

[juusso]

re-install SamyGO.

I have a few problem with samba client:
- very slow. I have a many folders with many subfolders, and often I need wait many minutes for a folder entry. Cache all folders to TV or why slow a browse?
- many times I get a "folder not readable" or "Cannot read this folder" (I use with hungarian settings), but folder is ok. Why get this message if share is ok?

[juusso]

this is because mediaplayer checks headers. The more files, the more time it needs. Bad, I agree. Someone could patch exeDSP and remove this bad behaviour...
