Can AZBOX play files from NFS or SMB share?

Can the AZBOX premium plus HD play files located on a shared location such as NFS or SMB? Thanks.

Yes, and HFS, HFS+, ext2, ext3, etc

Sorry I might not have been clear. I want to know If it can mount a network share on a Linux pc in my house.

You were clear. You can NFS mount an exported fs from your linux box.

Yep, do it daily.
No luck (for me) recording to a network share, but I do remember some linux savvy soul posting a way to get that done.

I know I posted how to do it. Took some searching but here's the link to my post about it.

That's interesting. This can be used with a Win XP setup?

Yup. So long as you have a folder shared on your windows box.

If you have movies on your windows machine share that folder. Call the share "movies"

Ssh into the azbox and issue this command:

mount.cifs //ip.of.windows.box/movies /DATA/movie -o user=your_windows_username

The azbox will then ask for your windows password. Type it in. Press enter. If successful you'll get the azbox prompt again. Then on your azbox remote press the home button. Go to Movies. Go to the movies folder. You should see the movies on your windows folder.
