cifs.ko - samba mount

[nadlabak]

Compiled from Motorola kernel sources.
Allows to mount a samba (windows) share, so you can e.g. play avi movies directly from a remote shared folder over wi-fi using e.g. RockPlayer.

Samba mount - cifs.ko for Milestone | android.doshaska.net

Little explanation required please , if I understand this right , this will mount a folder on your pc so it can be accessed via your phone or the therway around ? but then you say we need an application in order to stream the movie so I m a bit confused here . For Example Esexplorer will give me access to my (already existing ) samba share and once in them I can click on a file and it will play it

[nadlabak]

When you click on a movie file located on a samba share in ES Explorer, it will be first downloaded to a temp folder on your SD card and only then played by the selected movie player. That means waiting...
The RockPLayer is only an example, it does not support streaming from samba share by itself. I mentioned it only because it's the first Xvid capable player with smooth fullscreen scaling that works very good on Milestone.
When you mount a samba share using this cifs kernel module then for any aplication there is no difference between the local files on the SD card and the files on the mounted samba share - all seem to be like local files and any player can play them directly.

The folder /sdcard/samba must exist before mount - you have to create it first.

Try

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.101/MEDIA-PC /sdcard/samba -o username=guest

(not /MEDIA-PC/ but /MEDIA-PC)

fantastic!
is seeking supported while playing movie?

[nadlabak]

Yes, of course, the seeking works as well as on local files on SD card.

Please note - you need to use busybox mount.

[dext3r]

i would say that "Files" from motorola is much cooler, if you're a newbie to this.. its part of MotoFrenzy/MotoBlur mods for now..

ill try to make it an external "update-nosign" so it can be added to 2.1 and other images too..

but for us nerds, a module is also nice to have, so you can work with in in the background..

Short Question: How do i install Busybox?

No, not over the OpenRecovery Menu, or?

# busybox mount -t cifs -o username=guest //192.168.220.100/Videos /sdcard/samba
mount: mounting //192.168.220.100/Videos on /sdcard/samba failed: Permission denied
#


why? oO


# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
# chown root:root /system/bin/busybox
No such user 'root:root'
# chown 0:0 /system/bin/busybox

# busybox

link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
will act like whatever it was invoked as.

edit:

Works now.

Have the Update over OpenRecovery installed, also this Update: Files - app (from Droid2/Milestone2)

module manually installed and then works. Why? i dont know

[Protector]

Okay, next.

Gives a way to load cifs.ko automatically by booting?
