I have been on a crusade to play my videos and music from my windows computer on the ps3 with ydl. I'm currently at the point right now that I have Mplayer and it can play xvid videos, although there's no video scaling, so right now it's just a fixed size. (usually too small to be worthwhile on the big tv)
However, the goal was to access videos from the windows computer in the other room. I know I can use Nautilus to get to my shares, but that doesn't help in trying to play video from Mplayer. My question is, how can you mount a windows share to a standard directory such as /mnt/computer . I've tried updating Samba so that I can use smbmount to mount it, but smbmount is no-where to be found. Using "mount -t smbfs" gives an error as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
