Which version of Samba is the App pack based on?

Is it one of the ones that can be patched? Or has it been patched?

Because I know there’s an issue with Samba and Microsoft’s new security arrangements… basically anyone running Live 2011 can’t use their shares properly on a Live or Live Plus, because the version of Samba that WD used, is one of the ones that can’t be patched.

Hi,

first of all thanks for your great work, my WDTV is running very well with your firmware!

Just one thing: I try to run the samba.app.bin, but no “network share menu” appears in the WDTV menu.

Do I need a smb.conf, ’cause there was no, neither in the firmware package, nor with the samba.app.bin!

Thank you and many greetz from Germany!

Trying to access the non-read only share on the WDTV. What are the default user-name and password for it?

Hi B-rad. I flashed my Gen 1 WDTV last night with WDLXTV-5.8.1 along with the latest samba.app.bin. I got everything working when I started up the WDTV with the USB flash drive attached. But when I don’t have my USB attached to the WDTV, I’m unable to access my network share again.

Do I always need the USB flash drive containing the samba.app.bin connected to the WDTV in order for the network share to be accessed?

thanks

<<< edit: Correct, if you want an app.bin to function it must be attached at all times. You need a device plugged in locally to see xmount’d shares anyways. –b-rad >>>

Hi B-rad and thanks for all the work you did for us !

I downloaded samba app pack and unzip it to root folder of my USB key but it is still not loaded :

Jun 6 11:10:50 WDTV-f59e6 user.warn xmount: CIFS/Samba mount failed! download samba.app.bin from http://b-rad.cc

The same thing appends with nfs app pack nor ssh app pack.
Here is my USB key (16Go NTFS) root folder :

.wd_tv
Changelog
dropbear-ssh.app.bin
net.config
net.mounts
nfs.app.bin
README
S00custom-options
samba.app.bin
screen-saver.png
wdtv.bin
wdtv.ver
webserver.app.bin

WDLX firmware is 1.03.01.WDLXTV-0.5.8.1

Thanks you for your kind help

<<< edit: Refer to forum.wdlxtv.com for support. I can say that NTFS devices are not suggested to be used as app.bin holders on wdtv gen1. –b-rad >>>

I have the latest WDLXTV, 5.8.1, I can see the Host on the network, I can see all the files in the ‘usb-ro’ share, but when I try to access the protected ‘usb’ share, Win7 won’t accept the ID/PASS. i have tried blank, root…

Any fixes to this?

Is there any way to change that password?

how can we see that an xmount is correct configured?

<<< edit: uhmmm…well if it appears in the OSD then I’d say its safe to assume it worked. –b-rad >>>
