This seems to be the only way alot of people can get XBMP to see the shares. It works really well on my end and takes up hardly any CPU usage so unless you're set on using Samba, give CCXstream a try.

CODE

security=share

When I was messing with Samba on Linux and XBMP I had to change from the default Samba security mode of user to share to get it to work.

I looked at my iBook's /etc/smb.conf file and the security setting is not there so Samba defaults to user mode.  

Make the addition above to the /etc/smb.conf file and restart samba (or reboot if you don't know how to restart samba).

See if that helps you.  

I would recommend ccxstream though as it is much faster and uses less cpu time.  You also don't have to worry about changing Samba settings.  If you have Samba shares on your machine and switch to share mode you will make it easier for others to access your files (assuming you are not running behind a firewall).

But it works!  My itunes folder lists all of my available folders and files.  Good times.

I tried a video too, but it was unwatchable.  Just stuttered the whole time.  Any tips?

it was encoded as a WM9 file from Cleaner.  I think the streaming speed is the factor.  Is there any way to control the ammount which XBMP caches before playback?  And if so, are there any graphical representations of the caching?

Thanks.

The built-in Samba in Mac OS X works flawlessly...it took me a while to figure it out...but it works perfect now...all you have to do is download the Samba Server Configuration Tool from versiontracker.com to set up the shares and you'll be set. You don't need any of those other apps. If you want to do it, PM me and I'll walk you through it...You can set up multiple shares on multiple discs and hide invisible files, the whole 9 yards...it's the way to go...

XBMSX works. Very few people it appears have been able to do it, so if you have any specific questions, let me know.  Essentially, I simply needed to edit config.xml to reflect my IP address.  Since I did it in the three locations, what I wound up with on the Xbox's media player was three folders named "Mac Stream".  Yea.   But it works!  My itunes folder lists all of my available folders and files.  Good times.

I think the fact that it is a WM9 file has something to do with the stuttering. I've streamed tons of DivX files(some as large as 650mb) from my aging G4/350 and they play flawlessly. However, the Halo 2 WM9 trailer stutters like crazy. I'm gonna try putting it on the local XBox HD to see if it's just a matter of cache or something along those lines.

Cool.  Let me know how it works for you.  I am unable to send anything to my xbox faster than 40KB/sec.  Bizarre.

I put the video on my xbox's HD and it still stuttered really badly and the audio was out of sync. Perhaps XBMP just can't handle it yet.
