This is inherent of the protocol so every implementation will be as bad. SMB is a ridiculously slow protocol and it may be less than optimal if you need a high-performance and reliable transfer. Any suggestions for how I can network a drive plugged into the WDTV Live? Not a very elegant solution for a user interface that is generally pretty sleek.
SMBUP UNINSTALL PS3
So I can stream now (but I could do that before with PS3 Server, or EyeConnect - it just didn’t support subtitles.) But I can’t copy to the drive unless I unplug it and plug it into the MacBook Pro. SMBUp does not fix the part of the problem where the Finder no longer connects to the external hard drive. Doing this means that the file will not be interrupted by a reboot, will not be affected by a network slowdown, and I can even watch whatever with the computer turned off. For the most part I prefer to copy files from the Mac to a drive attached via USB to the WDTV Live. However, while this does solve the streaming issue, that was the lesser half of my requirements. I can’t tell yet if the quality suffers, but it seems to be OK. I can now stream files from the Mac to the WDTV Live using Network Share instead of Media Server.
This SMBUp program did solve half the problem. I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth. Soulside thank you so much, not sure why others have not picked up on this but really hope it helps.
SMBUP UNINSTALL PASSWORD
If it asks for password etc just use whatever you would normally on your mac or click connect as guest. Type in the IP address from the Network Setup page on your WDTV. In Finder on the mac click ‘connect to server’ in the Go menu (apple+k) Switch on your WDTV, go to settings / Network Setup. All thats happening here is that without Samba Lion is not automatically connecting, however the WDTV is still a drive on your network so of course it can be easily connected to.įirst I was not sure what soulside (page 3) meant so i went to finder clicked on network and briefly my wdtv flashed up, however when clicked on it quickly went away. Guys I think the solution is a lot easier than everyone thought, ive been looking for a way of making my WDTV work with Lion for days now, trawling through forums, then I spotted what soulside said.
