SMB password issues on xbox

Post by murphio »

Hi guys - I am a user of XBMC on Apple TV and PC but to be honest I still love my old xbox. One serious limitation I have noticed between xbmcforxbox and the Eden build though is with SMB sharing and passwords. On Eden, you can set a password with each folder. On xbmcforxbox though you are still only able to add a default SMB sharing user and password in network settings - this is limited use really if you are streaming from more than one location on your home network - when the box is rebooted you have to manually enter the user/password for every location that isnt the default. Any thoughts on a solution or future solution?
Cheers

you can try out the nightly builds to test btw. but note that the old pm3 skin does not work right currently, but you can try the new confluence lite which looks great.
