You would of knew this by reading mplayer_ce's config setup guides. It's not gay as to reason why, their is a simple reason for not browsing through IP.VashTS said:i finally got smb working, in case this helps anyone...
you can only share a FOLDER not a drive. its gay in my opinion, but thats the only way to smb share. using win7, right click the folder, go to share with -> specific people then drop down to everyone and click add. let win7 do its thing and it should work.
use your ipv4 address (you can get this from going to a command prompt and typing ipconfig). make sure you type the name of the folder you just shared in wiimc. and user/pass if you have one.
just got done watching season 5 of tim and eric awesome show.
jheredia said:is it possible to use this (or another program) to share files with computers/other media receivers?
I want to have my hard drive with games/movies hooked up to the wii and then hopefully connect to it through my network and watch the stored movies on another computer/tv/media center.
I see that this has a FTP server but that only lets me share WITH the wii not FROM the wii (i believe)
Wrong, you shared a FOLDER, not a partition drive. http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f...&p=213#p213VashTS said:i was able to share the whole drive in mplayer. maybe im crazy and i don't remember correctly, but im pretty sure i just put in the drive's share name and i was able to look through everything. the emulators could too.
