So you have used the patchstick
What now? You have tons of video on your other harddrive? Yes, you can play the videos you have on your PC harddrive, your Airport basestation or like me – on your MyBook World Network harddrive (or any other NAS with samba support)
I installed Sharity Light and created this wiki entry:
Mount Sharity Light (shlight) shares from frontrow
If you have installed Sharity Light from the instructions above, you can use application launcher to set up your mounts. Install application launcher from the awkwardTV plugins installer.
create the file /Users/frontrow/mount.sh with this content:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/shlight //<ip to your share>/<shared folder> /Users/frontrow/Movies/shared -U username -P password
chmod +x /Users/frontrow/mount.sh
create a folder named shared in /Users/frontrow/Movies/ with the command
mkdir /Users/frontrow/Movies/shared
create this Applist.plist in frontrow/Documents/
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=”1.0″>
<dict>
<key>Applications</key>
<dict>
<key>0</key>
<dict>
<key>args</key>
<string>/Users/frontrow/mount.sh</string>
<key>remotewatcher</key>
<false/>
<key>fireandforget</key>
<false/>
<key>menu</key>
<string>Mounter</string>
<key>killfinder</key>
<true/>
<key>path</key>
<string>/bin/sh</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Under your application menu you will now find an item called Mounter – click that, and the system will now mount your share in the path /Users/frontrow/Movies/shared. (Mounting will take some seconds, but when frontrow is back everything is working) Use atv files or nito tv to play you files!
This works for me with the MyBook World Edition NAS 500gb.
