I've packaged samba/ windows fileshare mounting support.
I'm sure you will hear it over and over, but "beware" of unofficial firmware and use AT YOUR OWN RISK!
This firmware works for me. It worked when I flashed from CF card.
In order to use this support you will have to telnet into your OSD (because the OSD main console application is broken) You can mount shares by:
mkdir /mnt/tmpfs/media/[mountpoint]
mount.cifs //[ipaddress]/[sharename] /mnt/tmpfs/media/[mountpoint]
where [mountpoint] = the name of the directory and
[ip address] the ip address of your windows or samba based machine and [sharename] is the name of the windows share.
If username and password are required:
mount.cifs -o username=[user],password=[pass] //[ipaddress]/[sharename] /mnt/tmpfs/media/[mountpoint]
You can download the firmware here: http://www.limesg.com/osd/firmware/README

SMB works, but it breaks other things...
Right off the bat I noticed that DHCP didn't work. That wasn't a big deal for me, however.
USB stopped working as well; didn't even power it on. It's probably missing the USB modules. Now that was a big deal for me...
On the bright side SMB did seam to work pretty well and I was able to play videos from from my samba share. There was some video/audio sync and freezing problems, but I'm thinking that had nothing to do with SMB.
Great!
This is crazily exciting! I can smell the stench of victory nearing!
