How can I play from external media like smb -folders

[bepppo]

I tried to find the smb shares in the LAN , but it's not reachable.

I tried to play from ASTRO File manager, but Poweramp does not open on musik files when I clicked on the file here.

may be I need to generate a link in the filesystem?

But how?

Desire HD,andriod 2.2,

ARCHOS 70, android 2.1

There was a but which prevented files opened via file managers to play, it was fixed and the fix will be in the next update.

Though, playing files one by one from file manager is not comfortable at all.

Hi,

Is this still in the pipeline? I have a card full of music for when I'm out and about but to be able to play music from my NAS or create playlists pointing to the NAS files would be awesome.

I tried to create a playlist from my NAS music folder using astro but although Poweramp shows X files in playlist, when played using Poweramp or the default player, it states the playlist is empty.

You can add share under sdcard hierarchy and it will become visible in PowerAMP Folders (i.e. if your music folder is /sdcard/music, mount smb as, for example, /sdcard/music/smb).

Thanks. That's an idea, didn't think of that. I haven't rooted my phone yet, but here's a good enough excuse as any.
