Simply by trawling through web page after web page reporting the same issue. Most were of no use, but one or two had the '\\' instead of the '/'. Figured it was worth a shot.
Still, it's very odd that the command I've used for over a year now suddenly failed and that no one else...
SOLVED! (For me at least). No idea why it failed in the first place, but by changing from this:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/Movies "/media/My Video/Movies" -o username=Mike,password=****
to this:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2\\Movies "/media/My Video/Movies" -o username=Mike,password=****...
Net share gives me the list of the shares available and, yes, I can access those shares from other Windows devices (and Android devices for that matter).
Which implies that 192.168.1.2 is not available, but I can ping it.
humax# ping 192.168.1.2

I'm close to do a factory reset and starting again from scratch, but that seems like a drastic option with no guarantee that it'll sort the problem. :-(
Previously the CIFS package was installed but the Samba package wasn't. (After reinstalling the CF all the previously installed packages were still there.) However, I installed Samba but it made no difference.
I'm not much a of a linux person I'm afraid. Anyone know of any diagnostic...
Like a few people, I didn't protect myself against the OTA update on Thursday and lost the custom firmware. I've since re-installed the latest 2.22 CF and my webif and telnet access are back.
But, no I can longer access my Windows shared folders. I had a few shared folders mounted - following...
