SMB Filename problem

**mike3k** · October 5th, 2008, 05:08 PM

I've successfully installed Boxee & XBMC on my 2.1 AppleTV. XBMC has no problems accessing SMB shares on my Buffalo TeraStation, but Boxee always truncates the last letter of all folder & filenames, for example smb://tank/share/media always appears as smb://tank/share/medi so it isn't able to access anything on my server.

hi mike3k

I chose it from the browser. All the names appear truncated in the list.

It happens with every filename browser (add source, etc.). If I do add it manually, all folder names are still truncated in the file list and I'm unable to select anything.

In short, there's no way I can access any file on that server or add it as a video or music source successfully.
