Samba running ok ?
setup/system/network/samba setup
Thankyou for your response' I must say this forum is awesome unlike others for quick responses.
I have enabled samba and restarted the solo2 but its still the same it wont expand my directory
Just double check in the mount manager in the image that your nas has mounted correctly
blue button on your remote/ViX/mount manager
I have updated my firmware on my nas and double checked all settings but cannot get the drive to mount .
Has anyone out there installed a image that works well with a vu+solo2 ?
Not sure what else i can try
I had a similar issue with my book live after I updated to vix Zeus the solo2 could see the my book live in the network but would not let me expand the drive to access the films I had. I just remounted the my book drive a few time and got this message (the drive already exists do you want to mount again) just say yes and ree boot the receiver each time it seemed to work after the third time
tHANKS FOR YOUR HELP I HAVE TRIED TO REMOUNT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO LUCK,
THE SOLO2 IS FINDING LOTS OF MY DEVICES BUT ONLY EXPANDING 2 OF THEM(I THINK THEY ARE PC'S
SORRY FOR THE CAPS

im having the same problem on a solo2 running vix zeus,it finds my nas but wont expand the directory,has anyone solved the problem thanks
Hi all I've just updated to vix Helios build010 and the solo2 will not expand the my book live 2tb drive and it does not show in mount manager. I had a smiler problem with vix Zeus but it seem to mount in the end.
I have reverted back to vix Zeus build 023 and the drive is working fine.
This is how I normally mount the my book live
Menu, setup, network, network browser, then select my book live expand then select films green button mount.
Fill in the mount as required then save.
I have worked at this for 2 hours with no joy could this be a driver issue?
Possibly a driver issue, have you checked in (blue button) vix/mount manager to see if the device is listed? ViX will automount hdd & usb sticks etc...
Hi McKee
Yes I've checked with the blue button my book live is not listed in vix Helios. I might have a go again later am in Portrush enjoying the sun
Hi all I've had another go at this all seem to be working fine now using vix Helios build 011
Go to
Menu,Setup,System,Network,Mounts setup,Network Browser,Scan Network
Then select my book live (DO NOT EXPAND)
Green button Mount Manager
Add new network mount point
Mount using FSTAB (mount at boot)
Active ENABLE
Local share name MY BOOK LIVE
Mount type CIFS SHARE
Server IP ENTER YOUR OWN 192.125.*.*.*
Server share FILMS (or what ever you have your films/movies folder called)
Use as hdd replacement NO
Mount options rw,utf8
Username Linuxsat
Password 1234
Green Save
To check if the mybook live is active press
Menu,information,devices
Should be at the bottom Network servers
Or bring up the recordings list then press yellow button (location) and my book live should show and all your movies/films should be working
Hope this helps anyone trying to mount an external drive
Thanks works really nice :)
