Adding a SMB share as a Content Location on Ubuntu
Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2010 6:39 pm
I'm new to running Twonky on Linux and while I've gotten the server installed and up and running, I can't get it to scan my SMB share (a networked drive on a wireless base station). I didn't have any issues under Windows but I was hoping to be able to run Twonky on my Linux box instead. Is there a certain way I need to format the directory path in the "Content Location" field or is there another configuration setting that needs to be modified? Here is the path as I see it from the terminal:
/home/USER/.gvfs/'mediadrive on shareddrive.local'/Movies/'Feature Movies'
and here is the SMB path from when I drag and drop the folder onto the Content Location field in the TwonkyServer configuration screen:
/smb://shareddrive.local/mediadrive/Movies/Feature%20Movies
I'm a Linux novice at best and definitely a novice when it comes to Samba and network drives. I appreciate any help that can be offered.
