Multimedia forum: prob with asus o!play air

hey. can you tell me please whats the OS you are using? so i can guide you.

Create a new user on you pc with an easy password and username and give it full privelages.

Then select the folder on your hard drive you want to share, right click, sharing, say share this folder with everyone or just that user.

After you have connected to your router on the oplay go to folders then network, your computers workgroup should show.

Click on it.

Then

At the login window type in the username and pass you created and press ok it should say save to my shortcuts then you should be able to see your partition structure on the oplay screeen and click the folder you said you want to share and away u go.

What did u do exactly?

My oplay is connected wirelessly to my modem which is wirelessly connected to my computer. as my modem is also a 4port wireless router.

I turn on the PC connect to the modem, And then turn on the Oplay. Press setup, go to network, and go to AP then manual. Enter the SSID of your modem. press enter, and then go to WPA key (I dont know what would happen if you had a wep or wep2 key).

Enter the Passkey and press ok. It should take about 30sec but eventually the loading icon disappears and it comes up connection details. IP address etc. Press back on the remote or the home key then go to all media.

Then click on folders/network

here you should see my shortcuts, my neighbours, Workgroup. Click workgroup and it should show your pc name. Click on the PC and then enter the username and password as per the previous post (dummy one you created) it should then say login accepted then you can browse to the directory you have shared.

This works great, I uninstalled the "Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant" and my o!play stop asking for user id and password.

Many thanks.

Problem is that with windows life essencial 2011, Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant was included in a way that is not avaible for parcial uninstall. You must uninstall the all package to get the o play running again with win 7 shares... so or you have messenger or o!play...

Any solutions? Please?

Hello,

I am connected through my router and can watch movies etc streaming wirelessly from the shared folder but cannot play internet tv or internet radio channels. The flicker stocks and video pod casts however work fine.

Any Ideas?

Cheers,

OK so I have uninstalled Windows Live Essentials and turned off password protected sharing. I am now able to logon into my PC and I see my partition structure.

But when I try to access shared folders, it asks me for Net user id and password again! So I type in my PC account's user name and empty password and I still get Logon Fail.

What should I do now?

I messed around with all sorts of things, removing Windows Live fixed it !, thanks !

Thaks a lot for the help regarding "log on error to OPlayer"
I just installed the Windows Live and then i got the error. No it is uinstalled and everything works just fine.
Only one thing, I have still password protected sharing turned ON, and no problem.

I just wonder why it really is nesseserry to have an account with the name OPlayer and password to use the mediaplayer. But I know, it is a must!
I also have another mediaplayer, WDTV Live. No problem with this in any way, only it cant play .iso files.
Well thanks again for the exelent helping hand, xiotion!

I am having similar set-up like mentioned by 'snagglepuss' - MacBook Pro running version 10.8.3 and ASUS o!play Air. So far , I have tried following steps:

1) Created user id and password in mac.
2) Given the shared folder all permission for the new user id
3) enabled SMB


When I login to my mac from ASUS, I can go till the folder. But, when I try to get inside the folder, I get the window to enter 'net user id, password' . Whatever uid I try , it fails and I am NOT able to go inside the folder to play the files.

Please help.

TIA
