How can I play videos shared in Windows?
 
I have some videos in my PC that I need to play from my N9. All of them are in a shared folder (Win7).

With my N900 I used Wizard-mounter then I could access the videos from the default video player.
I'm searching for a similar approach.

I tried myExplorer, but when I click in a video, it starts downloading instead of playing.
So, is there a way to mount Windows folders and play the content with a video player?

How can I mount folders with the terminal?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

normal users don't have access to mount capability on harmattan. So you cannot mount cifs folders unless you hack your device or use some external fuse utils.

For playing on your N9 videos stored in your PC, there is another way: Helium

Edit: in fact, actually it's only possible to play on your PC files stored in your N9.

And what if I use INCEPTION? I'll be able to mount cifs folders?

Thanks for the tip, it's something... but if I could avoid mounting a server in my PC, it would be better.

I installed INCEPTION. Now I can execute mount command, but I can't get it to work.

~ # mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/eaf /mnt/asd
mount: mounting //192.168.1.2/eaf on /mnt/asd failed: No such device

The folder is accessible trough the network, if I ping the IP from my phone, it response OK.

What I'm doing wrong?

PS: I created the "/mnt/asd" folder with mkdir.
