Using version 0.5.5

Dash is Evox - 3935
BIOS is EVOLUTIONX_V23.BIN I think, pretty old.

Here is the config file (changed some things for privacy purposes)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<dvd2xbox>

</dvd2xbox>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, at 10.10.10.9, I have a share called ximages. The account listed in the config, is a domain admin, and does have full permissions to the share as well as the NTFS permissions on the directory.

Also, I am making sure that the network option says YES in the settings screen for DVD2XBOX.

When I try to backup using the X button from the main DVD2XBOX screen, it fails to backup the game. Below is a sample of a few lines from Max Payne 2:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn't open destination file ximages/Max Payne 2/assets/levels/17/streams.rws

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The real log file has an identical entry for every file on the game DVD. This will happen on any game I try.

Games will backup just fine to the HDD.

As for variations in the config I have tried, I have tried using netbios name, FQDN, and IP, for , NAMESERVER, HOSTNAME and DOMAIN, and rebooting XBOX after each attempt at a new config.

Any help is appreciated thanks.

Is there anybody in here backing up titles to an smb share???

Don't forget to insert the workgroup (here domain). try to connect to the share from another PC and if you can really write a file with this user.

I am having the same problem. I think some of my settings are not defined correctly.
This pretty much the same, so I left it intact
<main>
<dumpdir1>e:\</dumpdir1>
<dumpdir2>e:\games\</dumpdir2>
<dumpdir3>f:\games\</dumpdir3>
<dumpdir4>f:\</dumpdir4>
<dumpdir5>g:\</dumpdir5>
<dumpdir6>g:\games\</dumpdir6>
<dumpdir7>-</dumpdir7>
<dumpdir8>-</dumpdir8>
<dumpdir9>-</dumpdir9>
</main>

<network>
The IP that I assingned to the Xbox
<xboxip>192.168.1.2</xboxip>

I got this value from the router
<netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
Router's IP address
<gateway>192.168.1.1</gateway>

This one I am not sure. Should it be the acctual Name Server IP address that my from my ISP, or should it be the IP from the router?
<nameserver>192.168.1.1</nameserver>

Same as default
<cddbip>195.37.77.133</cddbip>
</network>

This part here is where I think I have something wrong.
<smb>

I have a computer located in a different room that is always on, which I assinged this IP add. This computer is running win2k server
<hostname>192.168.1.4</hostname>

Actual user name and password
<username>Administrator</username>
<password>password</password>

all the computers in my house are part of this workgroup
<domain>badger</domain>

Now, this is where I think I am missing something. This computer has a drive d: inside this drive there is folder named games, which any computer in the house has access to. So if am on any compuer in the house, and I type in \\192.168.1.4\d\games I have accress to the content of that folder. So given the logic that I just discrived. I used the following.
<share>192.168.1.4\d\games</share>
</smb>
After tranferring the file, I ger this error. Couldn't open destination file games/name of the files.

If someone can point where the mistake is, I would really appreciate it.
thx

I guess nobody uses this feature....

anybody?

WiSO, I have a domain infrastructure, so I have entered the domain info, not workgroup. However, in my post, I said I tried netbios name and FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), and neither worked.

Also, of course I tried making sure the share is availabe via a PC on the network, it works fine. Guess I should have included that in the post.

Using SMB is not an issue in XBMP. It works fine in there. I know DVD2XBOX is using thier code, so I would assume it would work if it says it does in the release notes.

WiSo I see you are listed as the project Admin on the sourceforge page. Are you the primary developer? Have you tested this functionality?

Could you give us an update please.

I would be inclined to make a donation via paypal from the sourceforge page, if I could get this last peice of functionality working. This is an important feature, as it saves a step in the backup process, I am already on the XBOX so it makes since to backup to the HDD, then to an smb share for later ISO creation, rather than having to FTP into the XBOX.

The <share> tag is only looking for the share name correct?

So in my case, which is a share located on the computer 10.10.10.9, named ximages.
mine would like so?

<smb>
<hostname>10.10.10.9</hostname>
<username>administrator</username>
<password>password</password>
<domain>mydomain</domain>
<share>ximages</share>
</smb>

It finally worked.
Before:
Failed to copy d:\System\DM-SG3.det to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-SG3.det
Couldn't open destination file d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-SG3.frt
Failed to copy d:\System\DM-SG3.frt to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-SG3.frt
Couldn't open destination file d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DOM-Deserted.det
Failed to copy d:\System\DOM-Deserted.det to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DOM-Deserted.det
Couldn't open destination file d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-Test.itt

After:
Copied d:\System\DM-SG3.est to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-SG3.est
Copied d:\System\DM-SG3.det to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-SG3.det
Copied d:\System\DM-SG3.frt to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DM-SG3.frt
Copied d:\System\DOM-Deserted.det to d/games/Unreal Championship/System/DOM-Deserted.det

I am a dum ass. I forgot that I was trying on a different computer so all the settings were different. I corrected everthing and it worked.
- <smb>
<hostname>192.168.1.4</hostname>
<username>Administrator</username>
<password>password</password>
<domain>13678</domain>
<share>d/games</share>
</smb>
Thanks again for all the help.

I have network connectivity, I can stream ShoutCast from the internet, I can view items across the network on XBMP.

Can you tell me if my config looks correct for my situation from my post above?

Chapin

You said your workgroup name was badger, so where did
<domain>13678</domain>
Come from?

Also, do you have a share called games on that machine, or are you just pointing to that folder?

A path to the folder could be

[192.168.1.4]\D:\files\media\xbox\games

If games was shared it could be referenced as

\\192.168.1.4\games

PS
Congrats on getting it working on your end.

I dont have a share that deep I was only pointing out that you could, reference a path that long by only its share name.

What OS are you running on the machine that has the sare if you do not mind me asking?

If it is 2000 or 2003 all drives have a share Drive_Letter$, so c$, d$ etc. The $ sign hides the share.

Anyway, just wondering what your OS is, snce you are running an Active Directory environment, unless your running NT which I would be surprised if you were.

Thanks for Filling me in on your specs, I appreciate it.

Nevermind

I solved my problem by just saving to another machine. I used the system default share for the f drive like so

<share>f$/images/dvd</share>

Maybe it wants a drive letter (Path) instead of a true Network Share.

I am glad you got it working.
I am running win2k server.

Okay, your using the temp share, are you referencing it like

<share>[IP_Address]\temp</share>

or

<share>i:\temp</share>

in the config file.

I use <share>Temp</share> which is accessible via \\192.168.1.20\temp.

alright, I read through here and tried to do what everyone has said and I still have yet to get this smb share to work...I am sharing my D: on my XPPro Machine under d there are folders for games,movies,music blah blah blah, so here is my config for the smb which wont connect..

its the right ip, the username/password is the same as when I connect from my OSX machine to the same pc so I used those values the domain is my workgroup here at my place and the share should be right its path is D:\Games\ and thats it..


<smb>
<hostname>192.168.1.53</hostname>
<username>MATTHEWTANNER</username>
<password>BLUE15</password>
<domain>apartment</domain>
<share>D$/Games</share>
</smb>



So anyway, if you can figure out what i have wrong here that would be great...thanks:)

Have you tried <share>d/games</share> it worked for me. Sounds like you have a simililar setup to what I have.

yeah I did that and its still not working...I am going crazy trying to figure this out.

mmmh d/games should be right. did you ever tried to create a new file via your mac on the d/games share ?

hi,

i had the same prob with dvd2xbox v0.55 and the smb network.
i solved that shit.

try this smb settings:

<smb>
<hostname>192.168.0.X</hostname>
<username>YOURUSERNAME</username>
<password>YOURPASSWORD</password>
<domain>Arbeitsgruppe</domain>
<share>Files</share>
</smb>

for the "YOURUSERNAME"/"YOURPASSWORD" take the settings from
your Windows user data.
i prefered to setup a new user for xbox use only....
my pc belongs to the domain "Arbeitsgruppe" ( cause im german )
and my shared folder is called "Files" on D: -> but the drive letter dosnt matter.

further is took this settings:

<network>
<xboxip>192.168.0.X</xboxip>
<netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
<gateway>192.168.0.1</gateway>
<nameserver>Yopadato.NET</nameserver>
<cddbip>195.37.77.133</cddbip>
</network>

the rest of the settings from dvd2xbox.xml are original.
with this settings my dvd2xbox smb network is going fine.

greetings lasvegas

alright I will try that tonight and see what happens...I do know that when I use my mac to connect to the d drive on my pc I have to choose it instead of "Sharedocs" from a drop down...would this be causing a problem?

Sorry to ask again but are you able to create files on your share with the given user ? I need some time until I realized that I have to configure in WinXP a second tab called security in which I have to give the user extra permissions.

hi,

you have to give the user permission to create files.
to be sure that it will work setup another admin user.
and you should setup ( winXP ) "share this folder in network"
and "network user may change files".

this should work.

grtx lasvegas

alright, finally got it going thanks to you guys.

I had the drive set up but I then shared the Games folder within the drive on the network and now it transfers fine or at least it started to for me I quit the transfer since I already had the game on my d drive...but anyway awesome work everyone and thanks again for the help...


Not that it pertains to this thread but if you know how to shape or bend Plexiglass let me know...lol

Hi!
I have the newest dvd2xbox05_7 and cant get the samba to work, tried everything.
Nu nomatter how i configure it only says "Disk type not supported by smb copy"
Whats this? Why?
Its an orginal music cd that i want to backup to hd.
Is it not supporting cd and samba?

You can only copy udf or iso disc's via smb. audio cd ripping is not supported.

It would be a nice feature if it could work in the future.
I share my music(mp3) from the computer in the bedroom and playing them with Xbmc and samba in the livingroom so it would be nice if it could work later on.

I know about Cdex and programs to the pc but i like the fact that Dvd2xbox is so easy to use and that i can relax in the livingroom while backingup my cd:s.
Remotecontrolled Dvd2xbox would be cool to...

Hi all, Im trying to backup my copy of project gotham racing 2 but i only have an original harddrive. And im trying to get smb working in dvd2xbox but to no avail as of yet. Heres what my dvd2xbox.xml says:

<dumpdir2>e:\games\</dumpdir2>

Im clearly doing something wrong so if someone can point it out, please do. I have a router which ip is 192.168.1.1 and me pc ends in .2 and xbox ends in .3 , Theres no password or username setup on my pc. Im using xp and set it up so the games folder on the c drive can be shared. So if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated!


ps: im trying this right now, can an original game thats in the xbox dvd drive be copied over to the pc with flashxp, i know it can be done with backups but can it be done with originals. I'll find out soon enough but if anyone knows, let me know

Put your workgroup between the domain tags.
In winxp shared folders get a share name. put it between the share tags.
Also it is better to have a dedicated user for it. Create it and allow him to write to c:\games (share and security tab).

Yes you can copy originals via ftp but you need to patch it manually afterwards.

Something smells

Why cant I SMB DVD to my PC via DVD2XBOX.
