RE: [Solved] Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant won't allow XBMC to access Windows shares
Hello Mike,

Thanks for the post. I noticed over the weekend that my XBOX was not authenticating with my Windows 7 computer that is sharing media. I would constantly receive a password prompt. This behavior was present on two xboxes. And no matter what I typed it would not go through to the folders. Yet another Windows 7 machine was working fine on the same xboxes. I then found out that it was Windows Live 2011 that was the culprit.

So thanks again for confirming my suspicion.

Apparently a new version of XBMC was compiled that addressed the smb issues with Windows Live 2011 and can be found here:

I am not sure what to do with this file though. Do I extract it and then ftp into the xbox and drag and drop the updates files over to the xbox, overwriting all existing files? Or do I first delete all the xbmc files from xbox and then upload the extracted files back to the XBOX?

If you know what procedure I should follow I greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Quad
