What is the desired connection string for the SMB share settings
field? I tried: "smb://MY_IP/mythshare" and "smb://MY_MACHINE_NAME/
mythshare" in the settings box without luck (replacing the obvious
"MY_IP" and "MY_MACHINE_NAME" with actual values).

I can see the share in my Boxee Box network files listing and play the
files there but the MythBoxee app complains that it cant play/find the
file when I configure it to use that same share. Do I need to set
the share as a media source within Boxee inorder for MythBoxee to find
it? Does MythBoxee or other apps have access to Boxee settings such
as media sources? That would be nice to leverage Boxees SMB share
discovery and then just make a selection from MythBoxee of available
shares.

Thanks for your efforts. I appreciate your work.

On my machine my SMB share is at smb://MY_MACHINE/store/recordings

On Mythboxee I've entered into the box "store/recordings"

Hope that helps!

Thanks Timothy!  That did the trick!  I am tempted to request to be a contributor so I can make it accept multiple smb shares to search for recordings on.
