The [MPlayer Christmas Edition](http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_mplayer-christmas-edition_1157252) for Wii supports SMB
browsing. You can configure the login data of the desired SMB share through the `smb.conf` on the SD card as follows:

~~~
ip=192.168.1.100
share=Public
user=wii
pass=somethingelse
port=445
~~~

For it to work, you **MUST** use a dedicated user in Samba. Guest shares won't work. Also make sure you have
**`security=user`** set in your Linux `smb.conf`. For more information see
