CONFIGURING SAMBA
The first thing to do is to navigate to \\OPENELEC\Configfiles\ and open the file called
“samba.conf.sample”. You should open it with WordPad (Not Notepad).
Most people prefer to delete the default shares and only have ConfigFiles, the Root File
system and all their hard drives visible.
I agree - we don’t need to see Screenshot, Logfile and Emulator folders, etc....
You also need to share additional hard drives as it is not automatically done for you.
Around the middle of the document you will find a section with the following text:
All the default shares seen previously can be edited or removed below this section.
I have removed all of those useless default shares, and replaced them with the following:
# Using the following configurations as a template allows you to add
# writable shares of disks and paths under /storage
[Configfiles]
path = /storage/.config
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.config
[Root File System]
path = /
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
[Disk 1]
path = /storage
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
[Disk 2]
path = /media/Local Disk
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
[Disk 3]
path = /media/Local Disk_
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
[Disk 4]
path = /media/Local Disk__
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
Configuring Samba Shares
CAN I COPY THIS CONFIG?
Copying and Pasting the text from
Adobe Reader will not work properly.
I have included my Samba.conf file
along with this PDF if you want to
Copy and Paste from my config file.
