Trying to stream cbrs and cbzs from my network. I can see the files fine but I can't open them unlike avis which will allow me to pick an app to open it with. Is there a work around for this?
use CIFS (it's built into the primordial rom).
when you mount a CIFS share, as far as your tablet is concerned the files are local.
for example.
\\My Server\My Files\My Comics
can be mounted in
/sdcard/media/comics
and comic reader mobi, or whatever you use, will see them in /sdcard/media/comics (or wherever you want to mount it)
I downloaded the app and set the share path to 192.168.0.100/comics which where they are and the /sdcard/Comics and username anon. But it gives me an error when I try to mount. Did I do something wrong?

you running a rom that supports CIFS? dont think stock will work.... but in CIFS manager options, check both boxes (load CIFS module, load via insmod)

tested with a free comic and the comic reader mobi app, using CIFS on Primordial 3.1... works fine, streams comics from my network via wifi.
Ah I'm on stock... that might be why. Thanks for the info.
yea, if checking those boxes doesnt work for you, you need a kernel that supports CIFS.
you'd have to downgrade to .9, factory reset, root, then install a 3.1 rom with CIFS support.

Hi, I would like to know which app do you use to connect (from your Samsung Galaxy Tab - SGT) to a shared folder in your home network?
I mean if I have a shared folder in a Windows PC (in my home net), which program do you use (in your Samsung Galaxy Tab) to "see" inside that folder?
Astro? Ghost Commander? Other app ?
Thanx
I was trying this last night..
There's an App pre-installed made by Samsung, (I think) called AllShare, This is a DLNA client. I didn't have any look with it last night but I was only messing around for like 5 minuets so.
try 'es file explorer'.
Astro with the smb add-on works fine for me

Try File Expert
Had the same kind of doubts. Tried several file managers, and so far (2days) File Expert is my favourite. It didn't work at first though, but after exiting and restarting the proggie it works just fine... ES File Explorer works just as fine but I somehow prefer File Expert... But that's just me!
On my Desire I use CifsManager to mount my network shares. When mounted you can use the shares from al your apps, for example Astro or Rockplayer.
It works perfectly, but your device has to be rooted.

CifsManager only works on a cooked rom that has the cifs module compiled with it. Using it on my N1
I am desperately looking for a cifs.ko module compiled specifically for the tab as an alternative but there does not seem to be one available yet. Without the correct cifs.ko, Cifsmanager will not work (even with root) :-(

Ahh... didn't know that, sorry. I think/hope custom roms with it ported in will come soon. Then there will be nothing left from getting a tab myself... except the price maybe ;-)

ES File Explorer I confirm
I find this works alot better then droidftp I was using before. Does anyone know is there a file size limitation on viewing pictures? Any picture of decent size I try to open doesnt show. I can copy/paste the file to the sd card and it views.
ES File Explorer is great for network share!!!! Works very well an android 2.1, htc wildfire.
Allshare program works good with .AVIs (and perhaps others). Just make sure in WM player understreaming you enable access to files and designate which files are to be included in your library. Only thing allshare takes like 30s to load all my files into allshare filelist. Other than that and the lack of codecs support it's fine. I also use ES file explorer and astroshare.
How do you guys do it? I tried the all share app but ask it shows is my device..
With the Tiamat 1.3 kernal installed (along with the cifs.ko module as well), I wanted to Mount a Shared network drive on my Xoom so it will act like a local folder on my Xoom. With File Expert, I can see the shared network drive in the Network tab but it will not mount. It says Mount Failed when I try it. Next, I use Mount manager and it will tell me that the device does not exist when I enter the IP address with the shared path. Do anyone have another way of mounting the Drive on my Xoom?
having the same issue so would love some guidance on connecting to a drive on my network. It's on an Ubuntu laptop. Not having luck, whereas it was easy on my wife's iphone4 via vlc streamer.
Youtube search or a search here will bring it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlvAoHmTkqU

This is more of a reverse of what he is looking for. This is for mounting the xoom's hd as a network drive.
There are a couple of cifs programs out tere, but I have not been able to get them to work either. If I come across anything or resolve it, i'll post it here.
Jwb
I installed file expert, and I am able to mount my worldbook nas box, but when I go into the folders, I can't download any of the files. I have verified that I am logged in with the right credentials. I'll need to muck with it a little more.
I would just check your settings. Are trying to mount a network drive or a shared drive?
Jwb
I found a solution
I found a solution to this problem. I create a new thread in the Xoom General area under the name "How to Mount a Network Drive for Streaming Videos, Music and More"
Does CifsManager allow saving on the mounted folder? I tried opening a doc and editing, then saving it. But it wouldnt allow me to overwrite it, it was read only. Does CifsManager only allow one way transfer right now? Will it allow 2 way in the future?

I'd imagine that'd be the directory permission of the share

Hm, I tried making my folder share available with all permissions. And I set the security check boxes on all for everyone in the security tab. Still wont allow me to save over it..
tried at work, with windows server 2003. Still wouldnt allow me to save...has anyone have luck with saving/writing to the folders? Reading works perfect..
edit: nevermind, CIFS manager wouldnt work. But Mount Manage did!
csis manager
can someone tell what this app actually does cause i have not clue i am guessing it is something to do with file management and sharing those
Its for mounting and accessing network shared folders
is there a specific module that a kernel has to have to be able to use cifs?
Yes. It needs the cifs module to be loaded before it works
Hi,
I was hoping to use the tab plus as an ebook reader among other things. I noticed that I can't sync it with Calibre. I'm fine with the ebook app on here but how do I side load epub files?
I tried emailing them to myself and seeing if I could download but Gmail says there is no app on the device that can read this file. I know this is not true though.
just copy the files to your tab and import the book from reader
how do I do that? It doesn't seem like I can mount the tab as a mass storage device. All it allows for is MTP mode. This doesn't seem to mount on Mac OSX.
you can use airdroid or any wifi explorer in market to transfer via wifi.... since 7+ used honeycomb it cant be mount as mass storage device.
Great, I'll give that a try thank you!
Um, guys, you know that Calibre has a mini-webserver capability now for the library right?
So... server + wifi + browser = no problem, I even use it with my kobo touch and it's browser and haven't hooked up to my computer for book syncing pretty much since that capability was added.
The only real drawback about the calibre server is that there's no builtin multiple select to download all at once, but I'd never really considered that until just now as I'm usually just pulling one title/document at a time.
Also you can email them to yourself, that's what I do when my cable is not present. Then go into astro (or any file manager would likely work) and move them to the ebook/import folder on the onboard storage. That part might not be necessarily but even if it isn't I just like have my books in the ebook folder.
Is it possible to mount a remote file system, either SMB/Samba/CIFS, NFS or SSHFS?
If so how?
Do I have to root to do this?
The big question is what you are trying to do/access on the remote share.
From the way your question was phrased, it sounds like you just want system wide access. It would probably be easier just to get specific apps with remote share support for what you're trying to do.
There are quite a few file explorers and media players that have the SMB client support you're looking for.
ES file explorer and Solid Explorer both have share drive access that you can setup.
I've been using BSplayer for videos and it also has SMB support. I'm sure that plenty of others have it as well.
***Edit***
Going this route also means that you shouldn't need root access to reach the network shares.

Is there some reason I don't want system wide access?
It seems to me that requiring apps to have some kind of remote access would limit the apps I use.
What I mainly want is to treat remote files the same way I would treat local files in three circumstances: when seen in a file manager, when seen in an open dialog box, and when seen in a "save as" dialog box. The last two in particular for any app I wish to use not necessarily just those that are particularly enabled to do it.
.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but are there any roms or kernels available with cifs support? I've been looking around but can't seem to find anything...
