Samba server not seen on Windows network

I activated samyGO samba server script. That works but I have to manually connect using hostname/folder, TV is never discovered by Windows network as I expected.
I tested many options in smb.conf file with no success...
Finally, after doing some research I found that it must have something to do with nmbd command/NMB service which provide NetBIOS names.
So, if I am right, is there a way to implement/compile it for use on TV and is it worth doing it?

Thanks

if you find solution, please share with us. Personally for me this doesn`t make any trouble - use direct shortcuts or mount it as separate disk.

I need usable on TV binary of "nmbd" command which is part of samba package.
Tried to compile by myself, but with my insufficient linux knowledge, got some "syntax error on line 1" on execute :mrgreen:
Do you have it? Or do you know how to compile it working?

sounds like you didn't use cross compiler toolchain

i have no idea if this one works, compiled it long time ago and never really tried it :)
don't forget to chmod +x after copying to TV

Thanks, going to try...


Seems something's missing

Code: Select all

nmbd: error while loading shared libraries: libwbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i ve packed the libs dir if you're lucky all deps are inside. if not you need to build it yourself :)

Most files (except 2) in your archive seems to be nearly empty, they have just their own names in as text, is that normal?
15-16 bytes seems not much for a lib :)
