This is actually what I did. I never could get Samba working, so I setup Jellyfin and it’s been a breeze ever since. What an amazing piece of software! I just wanted to access my files, but having them categorized with images, cast and crew, ratings, and even recommended is just fantastic. The Xbox app works fine but it’s basically just a web wrapper, and the cursor never goes away which is mildly annoying, but it’s still a way better experience than the VLC Xbox app.

Thanks for the help!

It works (VLC on Xbox), but it’s definitely not that great.

Well that made it show up thankfully, but it’s asking me to log in. Any idea how to handle that? I don’t want it to ask at all so family members have ready access.

So I added the forward slash and now the folder shows up, but it’s asking me for login credentials now. I thought “guests ok = yes” would handle that but apparently not. Any suggestions?

All I’m trying to do is play videos on Xbox/Roku, so whatever makes that happen easily is fine with me for now. I would like to build a stand alone media pc/NAS later but for now just want to keep hosting it on my pc.

Well I tried the UI approach of right clicking the folder and going to share options, which is when I was prompted to install Samba, but there is warning that states “The permission for <folder> prevent othersl users from accessing this share”. I did some digging on that error, and everything I came across basically said that wouldn’t work. My next attempt was modifying the Samba config file, I added

[FolderName]

path = (file directory path I see in properties, /media/username/lettersandnumbersfordrive?/FolderName)

browseable = yes

read only = yes

guest ok = yes

create mask =0775

As instructed by a tutorial I found. When running testpram I don’t get any errors, but I’m not seeing the folder in VLC like I do when sharing from Win10. That’s as far as I have gotten. If there’s anything else that I can provide please let me know, and on that note, the drive I’m sharing from is NTFS if that has any impact.

Thanks again!

Personally I wouldn’t say the 2nd was terrible. The first was a better game, but it was helped significantly by free post release updates, which DL2 has gotten a lot of a well. I was pretty impressed with the depth of the city and I like the slow infection aspect. I really miss having a vehicle, but if I remember correctly, there wasn’t a vehicle in the first one at launch and it was added later. Just my 2 cents.

My go to for cleaning sticker residue off glass is wd-40 and a fresh razor blade. Works like a charm and is scratch free.

It’s true that capitalism has taken so much from us, but at least it’s given us smart phones and fart ham.

I’m doing my part!

Same. I spent about three months deep in the game, and then I realized how steep the grind was and stopped playing it. It was neat though, so it would be fun to check it out again and see what has changed in over 20 years.

I haven’t shot a 45-70 but I have a 35rem and have shot a breech load 450 bushmaster. It’ll put a little sting on you but it’s not that bad. Just make sure to keep the butt of the stick firm against your shoulder. I wouldn’t want more than 5 or 6 rounds at a time on the 450 though.

Yeah, that would have been great to have a tundra and jungle biome. Spawning patrol groups would have been cool, and having to defend FOBs periodically from attack or risk losing them. Ah, what could have been.

Infinite is no perfect game, but to me it felt like a great foundation for a game. I liked the open world aspect a lot, but it needed at least double the content in my opinion.

H Series Gang! There have been a lot of times I’ve been happy my Prelude is not an SH, and I enjoy my T2W4 swap! I’ve got a DC2 Integra with an H23 VTEC swap that’s pretty fun, but I would’ve kept the B18 personally! I can live without power steering but no A/C in the south is rough.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to do payment processing either. Thanks for the information though, as I haven’t really used Peertube since I don’t use YouTube much.

That’s fair, but the number one complaint about YouTube is the ads, and I do think content creators deserve to be compensated for their time. Perhaps a way within Peertube to donate to the creator?
