I bought a O!Play HDP R1 in order to play films that were recorded on my ET9000 (that is in the living room) on the TV that is in the dining area over the network. The ET9000 is a linux Sat receiver running the (Dreambox) Enigma2 software. It is running a Samba server to which I can connect with the O!Play and from windows machines. The O!Play also has a 500 GB external USB hard drive attached to it, NTFS. The O!Play plays files from this USB no problem.
I installed HD 2 1.12.06 rev4, and it is great. It is much faster that the original firmware in loading the films and the installed moservices are also a nice touch.
Many thanks for this effort, I know to appreciate the hard work!
In particular the Samba 0.03.8 server is nice because I can now see the O!Play in network and copy files from the ET9000 to to an attached USB 500 GB drive on the O!Play in this manner, und use the O!Play as a NAS in my windows network.
But I have one problem:
I can see the O!Play and the ET9000 in my windows network and transfer files from pc to O!Play and from ET9000 to O!Play over the windows machine.
The O!Play sees the Samba server on the ET9000 and is able to play these files, BUT I have problems seeing files on the O!Play from the ET9000.
The O!Play shows up on the network config screen in Enigma2 on the ET9000.
The ET also logs into the Samba server on the O!Play when Enigma starts, as seen in the log file generated for this IP (192.168.178.55 is the ET9000):
[2011/11/19 10:58:32, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(648)
192.168.178.55 (192.168.178.55) connect to service Media initially as user root (uid=0, gid=0) (pid 5538)
So I made a bookmark on the ET9000 and try to open this in the enigma2 media player.
I get an empty directory and the message "0 GB free space" - no subdirectories and no files are listed.
After this attempt there is this entry in the samba log:
[2011/11/19 11:00:42, 0] smbd/dfree.c:disk_free(138)
WARNING: dfree is broken on this system
I think that this might have something to do with "0GB free" and the empty directory listing?
I've googled but didn't really get any further - my Linux is too weak and it doesn't seem to be such a so common problem.
Any ideas what I might be able to change in order to list the files on the O!Play from the ET9000?
BTW I have set up bookmarks on the ET9000 to shared folders on local windows machines attached USB drives and I can list and play files from these folders on the ET9000.
