Posting this as a thank you for all people who guided me today.īy the way, I needed network share access only because of SRT support, which PLEX media server does not provide. I did not figure out where to enter user name and password for Linux share. Two main things - first, NFS Enabler which does this exports thing right, second - add everyone to shared folder users, otherwise the folder will come up empty - it will say you have no access. I am not saying this is universal - this is what worked for me. It will scan the network and your MAC’s IP will appear. ![]() On WD Live TV: go to Files -> Content Sources->Network Shares->Linux Shares. Click on the lock, enter your password, add Everyone. VERY IMPORTANT: on your mac, go to finder, select the folder you want to share (in my case Movies), right click, Get Info, check that folder is Shared tick box is on, and most importantly, add Everyone to shared user list. On MAC: Forget creating your own exports file, did not work for me, never got the path right. On WD: Enable Linux Shares from Setup menu of your WD TV Live. If those things don’t work, and you are entering the correct username and password in the right place, sorry, I don’t know what the problem might be.įinal solution to access iMac (Mountain Lion) shared drive through WD Live TV “Files”.Īfter reading all those posts and struggling with SMB, SMBup and so on (does not work, donated 1USD regardless), I came to a final solution which worked. ![]() You could try clearing the share credentials in the Setup menu, or connect to a local storage drive first and then change content source. If you completely shut it down (hold power button several seconds) and turn it back on again, it might work. Now I’m guessing it is just the WD being wonky as it often is. So now, if the WD is seeing the Mac when you select Linux Shares under Content Source (I don’t think Windows Shares will work, the WD can see the computer but can’t communicate with it that way), the mac end should be done. And since you’re complaining about it being painful, hopefully you will permit me to point out that we would have gotten here more directly if you’d given the information I asked for from the start, and if you’d actually tried the stuff before you gave a blanket answer that you’d done everything. ![]() Be advised.This should be pretty much solved. This means that while connecting to servers from the Finder remains functional, the Finder won't be able to "browse" network services and servers from the network won't show up in the Finder's sidebar. ![]() NOTE: SMBUp installs Samba, which in turn replaces Apple's OS X's native netbios and SMB services. The application is not crippled in any way if no donation is made, although donations are appreciated as they help us continue improving the software and providing new tools Make sure you edit those users' groups to reduce their number. Keep in mind that while the application will allow you to create users for accessing authenticated shares it will only warn if those users have more than 15 groups assigned to them, even though OS X Lion won't allow such users to authenticate properly. The checkbox is based on the system of honor: It won't do any verification on whether the donation has effectively been made. A reminder will appear upon startup once a day it can be dismissed by checking the donation checkbox. SMBUp re-instates Samba as a service of your mac and provides a simple interface to manage the service.
