Yes, the pc has to be on while using the plugin. If you still want to do it - I will give you the method I used.

[kidjej]

Please do
Thanks a lot

Method :-

 

(1) Make a network share folder on your pc. If you do not know how - please google because different systems have different methods for this.

 

(2) Give telnet command :

 

mount -t cifs -o user=<username>,password=<password> //<pc-ip>/<share_folder> /hdd

 

(2) Look in /hdd to find your share folder. If ok - insert the telnet command in /usr/bin/enigma2.sh somewhere in an empty line :

if [ -x /usr/bin/showiframe -a -f /usr/share/backdrop.mvi ]; then

    /usr/bin/showiframe /usr/share/backdrop.mvi

fi

<your telnet command here>

# hook to execute scripts always before enigma2 start

(3) Finally install the hdd version of KodiDirect (attached).

 

I have not done this for a long time. If you have difficulty - let us know.

 

Regards, pcd.

mount -t cifs -o user=<my-PC>,password=<password> //<192.168.1.4>/<kodiDirect> /hdd

I shared a folder kodiDirect on D drive in my win 7 (32 bit) pc but I have no pass on my pc at all and I didnt put password to the shared folder either, when I telnet to my dm500hd and give this command the message is cant open my-PC: no such file ???

and in step 2 not sure which telnet command to put in enigma2.sh

the same one as above:

mount -t cifs -o user=<>my-PC,password=<> //<192.168.1.4>/<kodiDirect> /hdd


thanks for patience with me

How much free space do you have in your hdd (without mounting) ? I may be able to make a small version of Kodidirect.

[pcd]

I think it will be easier for me to improve the plugin Exodus. I will try to do that.

[kidjej]

6-7 gb is free space on D drive
i use telnet commands on my dm500hd in putty and get that error.
I will try to share foder for kodidirect in my partition C (more free space)

Exodus works great, only just both versions 1.0 and 2.0 and the update (in the zip file) look the same after I run it on my box. I dobt see any differences.

[pcd]

The telnet command and the enigma2.sh should both be as here (no < >) :-

 

mount -t cifs -o user=your-pc-username,password=your-pc-password //pc-ip/share-folder /media/hdd

 

The main problem is making a folder for share. Some windows versions need admin authority. Please check that.

I only have one user with administrator rights, the problem seems to be that I dont have password protection at all on my pc, what to put in there in the password filed in this telnet command?

[pcd]

I assume you can leave password as empty like password=

 

The other error may be that this is not the network address of folder kodiDirect

 

//192.168.1.4/kodiDirect

 

Find the network address by right click on the folder in your pc File Explorer list. Select Properties -> Sharing

Then use the correct address in your command.

[kidjej]

now I shared folder kodi on my win 7 laptop on C partition

 

mount -t cifs -o user=My-PC,password= //192.168.1.7/kodi /media/hdd

 

after I enter that in putty on my dm500hd I get the message :

 

mount: mountung // 192.168.1.7/kodi on / media/hdd failed: input/ output error

 

 

p.s. my laptop ip is 192.168.1.7 while my box ip is 192.168.1.3

The network address of your share folder kodiDirect is correct ? Please check it.

The network address of your share folder kodiDirect is correct ? Please check it.

 

In one of my share folder - created a long time ago - the network address is //my-pc-ip/settop. In another share folder created yesterday is //my-pc-ip/users/my-name/Documents/settop2. Both folders are in the same place.

\\MENSUR-PC\kodiDIRECT

 

created new one, is this network adress of my shared folder ?

but when I go to advanced sharing and then permissions I have

Everyone

Administrators (Mensur-PC/Administrators)

 

both these users have full control

 

I also tried this

 

mount -t cifs -o user=\\MENSUR-PC,password= //192.168.1.7/kodiDIRECT /media/hdd

 

but permission denied is the message

[pcd]

In the 'Sharing' window - the network address is written down as :-

 

Network Path:

 

It is not the usual share folder address.

Is it possible to write network path manually in my dreambox?

I had cifs mount and shared folder on my old dm600 and was able to watch movies from my pc hdd and I remember that I entered the parth and everything else manually

[pcd]

What is your pc operating system and what is the image in the dm500hd ?

[kidjej]

Dm500hd newenigma 2 image
Laptop win 7 32 but

[pcd]

Sorry, I have opendreambox official image on my 500hd and Windows 10 on pc. It took me only a few minutes to set up a share folder.

[kidjej]

mount -t cifs -o user=My laptop, password=//192.168.1.6/kodi /media/hdd
