USB Share

Devices plugged into the USB port are visible to the drive, but not the network and those drives are mounted read only. This page is for those who want to modify it so that you can see the drives on the network and/or change data on them. If you only wish to expose the drives to the network without making them writable, then you can skip all the steps that involve "hotplug". If you want to write to the drive using the screenplay menu, but don't want to expose the drives to the network, then skip the steps editing the smb.conf file.

The following instructions assume you have you have no familiarity with Linux, but general familiarity with Windows XP or Vista.

If you are using Vista or R1.8, you will need to enable telnet.

1. Download the hotplug.zip file from this site.

2. Extract the hotplug file from the hotplug.zip and put it in the root directory of your media player.

3. Open a telnet session prompt

4. Start -&gt;&gt; Run -&gt;&gt; telnet 192.168.1.1 (replace the IP with your drive's IP address)

Now turn off the ScreenPlay Pro HD and restart it. This will remount the main drive as read only, unmount the existing USB devices and remount them with the new hotplug program, and recognize the changes in samba that make the drives visible.
