| Post subject: | Sharing recorded files over network |
Something that I am very interested in trying to do is being able to share my recorded television shows over a network. I (and some of my friends) would like to be able to watch something recorded on my DVR on my Windows XP machine. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about setting it up? Detailed instructions are great since I am still pretty new to Linux. Thanks! |

To play the files on your winXP box make sure you have an mpeg4 codec and MythTV Filters installed. |

You don't need the filters if you just use the /myth/pretty folder... since the original poster has an PVR-250 he's making MPEG2 files, and can just use /myth/pretty rather than trying to read .nuv files. You can either just add the ".mpg" manually after copying the files to his Windows machine, or modify the mythlink.sh script to add the ".mpg" to the filename. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3644 |

Alright, I have followed the directions that are on the knoppmyth wiki but I am still unable to connect to the share from windows. I am pretty sure I have part of it right because if I drop in a knoppix live eval cd I can then easily see the share. The following is my smb.conf file. Code: ;
; /etc/samba/smb.conf ; ; Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux ; ; Please see the manual page for smb.conf for detailed description of ; every parameter. ; [global] load printers = yes guest account = nobody name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 preserve case = yes obey pam restrictions = yes encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = smbpasswd guest passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u dns proxy = no printing = bsd server string = KnoppMyth R5 invalid users = root unix password sync = false workgroup = mshome syslog only = no os level = 20 printcap name = /etc/printcap syslog = 0; security = user panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d short preserve case = yes max log size = 1000 netbios name = linbox [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes ; By default, the home directories are exported read only.
