Can I Get Samba acces to the recorded programs

[mowax]

is it possible to get access to the recordings folder and instead of
having to copy them to fat32 i can simply drag them off the box and
give them an mpg extension.....

cheers

German? The page is in english.... And if for some reason, it directs
you to the german part of the site, check the bar above, has links for
english, french and german versions of the faq.

Forget french, its on another site, but the english version is there
alright (cant read german neither).

ok thanks maybe i was reading that bit wrong, the bit where it says "
in german here" i thought that was where getting this to work for
these boxes was, ok that link to the samba image i take it that's the
same as the 4 rar's that you download when you 1st put samba on it?
you know when it reboots and then i take it that i then issue the two
new commands when the box has booted back up.

cp /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD1/smb.conf /usr/lib/


chmod 777 -R /usr/local/etc/hdd/dvdvr

Sorry, cant understand what you said above.

Did you follow the instructions?

Yes, you need a working samba before following the instructions.

The file smb.conf that is downloaded is a new configuration that adds
access to the recording partition; it is copied to the correct place
in the first command (cp ...).

The second command (chmod...) just changes the permissions of the
recording partition to allow viewing and altering the contents.

ok fresh install of firmware and i have enabled samba.

when i run this command cp /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD1/smb.conf /
usr/lib/


i get this


/ # cp /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD1/smb.conf /usr/lib/
cp: /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD1/smb.conf: No such file or
directory

on that site it says download a config file but the link is dead, i
guess i need it hu?

The direct link for the file is http://rtd1261.wdfiles.com/local--files/files/smb.conf
(its working, i checked).

Save it to the root of the first partition (HDD1).

Verify that the directory /usr/local/etc/hdd/dvdvr does indeed exist
and is the recording directory. (most of the instructions on that page
are for the Cube Rxx, and may not work on the ME1, apparently);
otherwise, you will need to modify the file.

Only then do the commands on the page.

thanks i could not get this working..... any one else had any luck
getting direct access to the recordings?

If u want access the recording partition from net.
just add "mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/auto " to samba.sh
and add
---------------------------
[record]
comment = the fat32 partition of HDD
path = /mnt/auto
read only = no
public = yes
--------------------
to smb.conf

Thanks man, i've decided that since the transfer and the use of the
machine with samba running on it is just to slow for me, so i have
just put a fresh install back on and can see the speed diffrence on
the machine, i have a lap top sitting right next to it, so it's not
the end of the world for me to transfer to fat32 and then usb download
them to the network i'm on.

It's a shame as well as i'd really like to have had full access to the
recordings and also use samba.........did some one say that you can
put the operating system onto a usb key and make the box fly along?
