Hi Looun,

 I have made a folder FILM1 with the guide and it shows up in the External section but none of the files are in it.

Is is critical to set up a User/password as I did not do that and left the entries xxxx on the notepad.

try edit file with this command like this:

Code: [Select]
mkdir -p /sdcard/FILM1
mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.0.1/share /mnt/sdcard/FILM1

no password = guest (user without password)

----------------------------------------------------
if not work, you must check with run check_mount.bat

you can also use NFS command like this ,but it's more complicate:

Code: [Select]
mount -o user="nmt",password="1234",nolock,hard,intr,vers=3 -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/share /mnt/sdcard/FILM1

Hey Looun, thanks for your continued assistance on this.

Sorry but I am being a proper newb right now.

Do you want me to edit the IP address to direct to the computer where the hard drives are located and do I edit the share from the entry?

So like this?

mkdir -p /sdcard/FILM1
mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.1.76/FILM1 /mnt/sdcard/FILM1

Hi Looun,

 NO joy my end, still showing the folders in Kodi once searching External Storage > SD Card but no files inside.

Is there a way I should be directing the auto mount to the relevant folders?

For example

C://Users/DK/Desktop/FILMS

If you can see the folder but not the files inside it does sound like permissions aren't set correctly in Windows for the share.

I don't have a Windows 8.1 PC here right now but by end of today I'll have had a go at creating step by step instructions. Windows networking often has problems like this.

OK. Took me a while to get it working but I was able to share a folder from a Windows 8.1 PC to a Q10 (Q5 will be same) using Samba by following these instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/176471/how-to-share-files-between-windows-and-linux/

The bit that had me stumped for a while was that both 'permissions' (right click on share - Advanced sharing - Permissions) and 'security' (right click on share - Security) need a user with the name 'Everyone' and with exactly the same permissions (i.e. 'Full control').

Not wanting to sound too much like a Linux bore, but I cannot see why Windows makes such a simple thing so complicated! Maybe Windows 10 will be better, but I doubt it..

Hello Futeko,

Did we can have the samba sharing as i can see already in my computer in Windows 7 and can see the movies.
My question is not to put some new files (movies) in the sharing in the hard drive in the Himedia Q10 4K.

We can see, delete but can't move to smb sharing for example NAS or from my computer to the internal hard drive in the Himedia Q10.

Did someone have the solution for that. Thanks all

If I understand correctly you want to copy files from a network share to the internal drive in Q10?

Install ES File Explorer and it's easy using copy and paste.

Hello futeko,

Yes for this way ok but you can also have in Windows 7 see SMB sharing in our NAS sharing.
But if you want to make copy directly from the PC to the internal hard drive in Himedia Q10 we can't and no authorization to copy, "No space enough", wrong because i know the remaining size.

As i see and even if we can see the internal hard drive in SMB sharin in Windows computer, we can't see exactly the hard disk size

How we can make right access in this internal hard disk in smb to have the opportunity to make copies of files without ES Explorer installing in the Himedia Q10. Do it remotely and not by the Himedia Box. Thanks

I thought I would try this out instead of the way I was doing it. Unfortunately it knocks out root if you box is already rooted.  Then if you  root again this mount script stops working.
Title: Re: Tool: Auto Mount Multimedia shared folder without root ( expert user )
Post by: looun on July 31, 2015, 04:00:37 AM
if you have already root device add this line "/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &" on top into file install-recovery.sh with notepad++

like this
Code: [Select]
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
sleep 60;
mkdir -p /sdcard/LSWVL338
mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.0.4/share /mnt/sdcard/LSWVL338

this script is made for unroot device, because use same script file you must same file for root(start daemon) and auto-mount

Loon,

Can we set the internal hard disk in the Himedia Q10 to make copy from NAS1, NAS2 etc....
We can see the internal hard drive in the computer, see the movies, delete but only in that way. We can't make copy directly in the internal hard drive. Thanks

this script is for mount net shared folder for playback movie or song with andorid app.

If you need copy file from or to Q10 use android app like X-plore or ES File Explorer .

Only root as i saw bacause i have already the the auto-mount about my NAS Drives and work fine with HimediaWrapper.
From my Computer i can see the internal Himedia drive but impossible to make a copy from my 2 NAS and this directly from my computer neither to go to ES-Explorer to manage my movies and share them whatever i should make. So thatis my question.
The other one is to be read as well all files like ISO, M2TS, MKV but no way from BDMV structure. By the Mediacenter and LAN work fine with HimediaWrapper and want to this way because i want to hear the HD audio DTSHD, TrueHD and so on. Thanks

Help.... I've tried this method and all my computer tells me is unable to connect repeatedly. Is it something to do with the version of the player that I have?  Please see info below I copied and pasted from another thread:

Okay, I am not exactly sure which version of the Q5 I have, or how to upgrade if I can.   I bought one that appears to be in Chinese, but it is titled the Maguuog Chinese version.   However when it arrived, the remote was in English, and I was able to set most of the menus to English.  The confusion is that the firmware is set to 1.09 HMD from 06-18-2015. The model # is Q5 then some Chinese characters, then 2000. Android 4.4.2.

Questions

1:) Can I upgrade this to a pure English firmware?  I've tried to no success.
2) Can I remove the Chinese overlay and the IMG TV  / Chinese TV channels I am getting?
3) I want to install a script to auto mount my SMB share, but I can't seem to use luoonns method to connect to the device. Says cannot connect or find device on ip address.   Is this because of the firmware and location?
4) I  can install Kodi and have good functionality, real goal is to simply mount my samba share to work with this.
5) Any other tips or pointers? What is the best way to root?

Yes, I've had it for awhile now, and Kodi works fine. Actually, all functionality works great. Playing movies, installing play store, etc.  No issues, and I can work with it.   The ONLY major issue I am having is using looun's method to mount a CIFS share from my FREENAS box at this point. Was wondering if I can't connect to the device using aad and his automount method is because of the firmware or hardware.  It does seem like this version of Android is more limited than English. 

Ive managed to get everything else to work as usual except that quirk.

Looun.  Thanks for responding. Yes, I've for sure checked and double checked the ip of the Himedia Q5. I'm 100% for sure its correct.  Ive disabled firewall an antivirus protection. Keeps saying unable to connect, or adb is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Hi Media Center App Works fine. I can mount and see the Samba Share from the app and EVERYTHING works flawlessly.  That's odd.   I've mounted the drives and tried check mount and try mount to no avail.  It still says:

unable to connect to 192.168.x.xxx:5555:5555
error: device not found
error: device not found

Occasionally it will say that adb is not a valid internal or external command.

maybe I'll try connecting and running the script from my laptop instead of my main PC.

I installed a script running program directly on the device. IT created the folder on the SD Card but for some reason kept asking about mount.

Any suggestions appreciated.

HiMedia Chinese  models not have adb over tcp enable, don't spend your time trying Auto Mount  scripts or Root via lan, is not work on Chinese  models.

Pcristi!  Thanks!    Can I root it at all, even if not via lan?

Also, can I run the script on the device itself?  That is if I use a script program and run the script locally will that work?
