That’s interesting. Mind you, I’m not sure if that solves the problem with the TV Tuner - bear in mind thet TViX CAN write to FAT32 disks - it just doesn’t do so reliably with the TV Tuner.

(there seems to be a Ext3 format that works too)

Hey Tismey,

I just found this info on the mpcclub forum. There’s a format called EXT2 that mac can read/write to and TVix unofficially supports. I’m going to ‘consider’ it for the tvix under Leopard as the NTFS beta from Paragon won’t work yet. Any luck with the macfusion stuff?

Excellent! Really glad you’ve sorted it and that bit of information will no doubt be useful to anyone else having the same problem.

Well after a bit of research I’ve cracked it - just open TCP, UDP ports 111, 600-1023 for NFS communication and port 2049 for the actual NFS access.The drive mounts perfectly and I’m just streaming Supernanny for my wife. Now to try a bit of http://FTP. Thanks tismey - got there in the end. Hope this info helps a few others.

Well that’s annoying, I turned the firewall off and I could access the folder on the Tvix, at last. Unfortunately I don’t want to run the mac without the firewall turned on. But can’t work out how to allow access. It seems to expect a log on of 192.168.1.2/matthew with my password but I can’t do that from the tvix.

Getting there….

RIght - they’re more or less the instructions I used, but they’re a bit misleading in some places.

First up, you don’t have to have the tvixhd1 folder. I just share my Music and Movies folders. So here’s what I did.

In NFS Manager, I created a share to /Users/tismey/Movies. I set maproot=tismey, because I was a bit unsure about give it root access. It seems to work fine. I activated the shares with the ‘Activate Changes’ button. Don’t worry about any of the ‘Share subfolders options or anything clever.

On the TVIX, I put the server name as /Users/tismey/Movies and I put the IP address as 10.0.1.2, which is the static IP of my mac on my network. It connected first time.

Just a note - do you have the Mac OS X firewall switched on? I guess that might have an effect if you have.

Hi Tismet,

Here’s the instructions I followed (I worked out step 5 in the end) and I’m pretty sure I’ve followed them to the letter. But I still can’t get the 4100 to connect. I hope it isn’t my router but it shouldn’t be (its a Livebox) as both systems have static IPs but I wouldn’t know what ports to open (nor would I particularly want to to the outside world). Cyberduck was what I was using - so I’ll try Transmit and maybe Forklift (which would be brilliant - as you can set up a droplet for ftp with it) tonight and see if I can FTP onto it. I’ve formatted my 500gig as 3 fat32 drives and 1 NTFS (I also plan on getting the tuner addon and I need NTFS for 4gig ISOs too). I use Bootcamp and MacDrive to copy files to that partiton.
I’ll probably have to try the terminal for a bit - at the moment I use a 1gig jumpdrive to copy files to the tivx (as I don’t have a 20 metre USB 2.0 cable).

cheers for the tips.

Hi Matt, thanks for stopping by
I was going to post a thing about getting NFS Sharing to work on a mac, but haven’t got around to it yet… Can you paste the exact link of the instructions you’re using so I can compare them to how I got it working?

I’m just using Terminal for http://FTP. Transmit works, but struggles with folders with spaces in their name, Cyberduck/Macfusion don’t work at all, apparently something to do with the way that the TViX responds to certain FTP LIST commands. I’ve been in contact with the brains at Googlecode to get this working with MacFusion and accoridng to the ticket I raised it’s due for a fix in v1.2

Hi Tismey,

I’m also a Mac user who purchased the 4100SH (with 500g drive) the other day. Managed to reformat as FAT32 which is helpful but would love to get the NFS (won’t work - followed the guide on tvix.co.kr but to no avail (I get stuck a bit on the 5th direction - doesn’t seem to apply). No luck with FTP either which I thought was down to using a Mac. But I notice you’ve got it working - which FTP client are you using? I’m pretty sure I’ve set everything else correctly but it’s the client that won’t connect or copy.

thanks,
Matt
