July 26, 201114 yr Since this evening, since upgrading from unraid basic to unraid plus, I can no longer in XBMC see my shares by clicking: add video source ---> Windows SMB ---> Tower I cannot do this because there is no tower (or any other shares for that matter) which appear. Just '...', i.e. go back. I am at a loss for why this is. I can see shares on my windows PC but the three mac appliances display no shares, computers... anything under SMB. Can someone please help me resolve this problem? Will I have to switch sharing protocool for XBMC between my macs? Its really frustrating because my unraid server is now up and its struggling to properly synchronise with XBMC. I can add network location manually on XBMC but I really want to be able to see all the SMB shares normally.
July 26, 201114 yr I'm not a mac guy, but the rumor I heard is Lion no longer supports SMB. Are you running Lion on all your Mac's? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14158.msg134022#msg134022
July 27, 201114 yr i am running lion, and everything seems to be working just fine for me. can you see your server when you type in smb://(your server's ip address)? did your sever change ip addresses when you upgraded from basic to plus?
July 27, 201114 yr Author Nope. I cannot see any SMB shares right now on my mac by going on XBMC: Video Files --> Windows (SMB) ---> nothing It doesn't load and instantly just shows a blank screen. May I ask for a screenshot of your network settings in XBMC?
July 27, 201114 yr On your mac try: Finder/Go/Connect to Server... smb://UNRAIDIPADDRESS Connect Can you connect to the server? If not restart your mac. If it still doesn't work try restarting everything including unplugging your router and network hubs. Sometimes I get nothing when I go to smb via XBMC, a restart normally sorts it.
July 27, 201114 yr Author i can connect to my server but it doesn't show up in windows (SMB) video sources under xbmc.
July 27, 201114 yr Nothing changed when you restarted everything? I do get this problem form time to time on my Windows 7 HTPC.
July 27, 201114 yr i am not currently at my house, but i did have a problem like this recently. What i ended up doing was reformatting my usb drive (keeping the file that contained the license info) and when i reinstalled the unraid files everything seemed to be working again. i must have messed something up when i was changing a file. i don't know if this is the same problem you are having or not, but if you just got the license info i would copy that somewhere safe (desktop) and reformat your flash drive. When the system starts back up it should see all the root folders in each disk and make them into a share for you. please keep in mind that i am by no means an expert, and my case may be different than yours. proceed with caution. when it comes to this stuff, i usually seek tom's (or one of the local gurus on the forum) advice before formatting anything.
July 27, 201114 yr Ok, first lets do this. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=9880.0 Since we don't know what version of unRAID is being ran and what other problems there could be lets backup a little and start over.
