No samba shares on virtual USB

[barrymossel]

I achieved telnet and ftp access by following the steps for the widget. I see a virtual usb device, but no video's/music/photos are shown, it's totally empty. I have a Samba share present in my network, but apparantly it's not found.

I have almost no linux knowledge by the way.

I changed /mnt/etc/init.d/04_04_samba.init

. /dtv/SGO.env
# sleep 9
##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER=""
PASSWD=""
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

As my share requires no user or passwd. Also tried guest as user. And tried random strings for both user and passwd.

Tried changing the server to:

DEST_DIR=$MOUNT_PATH/smb
# SERVER=""
SERVER="192.168.2.253" # if you want a fixed server
SHARES=""
FR_NAME="Samba Server"
# M_OPTS="rw,user=${USER},password=${PASSWD}"
M_OPTS="$PERM,user=${USER},password=${PASSWD},codepage=cp1250,iocharset=utf8"

Nothing works.

I tried mounting the share manually through telnet:

VDLinux#> mount -o guest -t cifs //192.168.2.253/samba /dtv/usb/sdj/nas
mount: unknown filesystem type 'cifs'

So apparantly cifs is not loaded?
I have a UE40ES6300. Can someone help?

Try assigning both your TV and Samba server static IP's and use LAN connection for initial setup. Also, it takes a bit for TV to detect and populate the Samba shares.

[barrymossel]

Both the TV and server have static IP's. TV is connected with ethernet cable, HDD is connected by USB to modem (modem creates Samba server - which is accesible in Windows).

How long should I be waiting for the share to be detected (TV was turned on for about 3-4 hours yesterday after installing the SamyGo widget).

[iDeep]

For me it takes 20-30 seconds to get detected.

[barrymossel]

Doesn't it have something to do with the cifs not being loaded?

[barrymossel]

Anyone?

[fluffi444]

Please try this:

http://<Your TV IP>:1080/phpsysinfo/shell.php

User: user
Password: pass

insmod /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.35.13/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko

What is the result?

AND: Read this thread: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5822c
Quite long but could be helpfull for you....

[barrymossel]

Ok.

I managed to mount the share by manually loading cifs.ko and mounting the share with the next commands:

Code: Select all

insmod /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.35.13/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko
mount -o username=guest,password= -t cifs //192.168.2.253/samba /dtv/usb/sdj/smb

Whereas I manually created the /dtv/usb/sdj/smb directory before.

Works great! But...

I, ofcourse, want it to load automatically. So I edited 04_04_samba.init to:

Changes I made:
- USER="guest"
- Fixed server
- Changed the loading of cifs.ko (insmod /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.35.13/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko)
- Added mounting with above command
- Commented out get_servers and get_shares

Still doesn't work automatically. The cifs.ko won't load automatically through the above file. If I restart the TV I always have to manually load cifs.ko with the above command.

What is going wrong?

Tell us model and FW version.
I had the same issue on my ES8000 because the firmware was a debug version.
I solved with the last 2008 FW update.

Look at this viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5894

[barrymossel]

I've read your topics, that's why I got this far. I own a ES63000 with latest firmware (1033). And I do have the share working. But only if I manually load cifs.ko and mount the share. Even with above changes tot 04_04_samba.init. I believe that file isn't working correct for some reasonm because it doesn't fire the commands; I have to do that manually. But actually I don't know anything about linux.
