Well, using the Samsung "Optical SmartHub" was embarrassingly simple on the linux server side. As usual with a CD player you need SCSI support in the kernel, but you also have to add support for iSCSI over TCP. The module is named iscsi_tcp. You then need the Open-iSCSI initiator program to connect to targets.
Code: -------------------- root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# lsmod | grep iscsi iscsi_tcp 5108 2 libiscsi_tcp 7504 1 iscsi_tcp libiscsi 22424 2 libiscsi_tcp,iscsi_tcp scsi_transport_iscsi 33244 3 iscsi_tcp,libiscsi scsi_mod 58504 8 sg,scsi_transport_iscsi,usb_storage,libata,sd_mod,sr_mod,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# dpkg -s open-iscsi Package: open-iscsi Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 1763 Maintainer: Debian iSCSI Maintainers <pkg-iscsi-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.0.873+git0.3b4b4500-8 ... -------------------- Next, make sure to set "node.startup = automatic" in file /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf before discovering the Samsung thinggie. (iscsiadm generates a config file for the target, if you don't have startup=automatic you'll need to login manually before the device shows on the server and begins usable from CD Player plugin.) Code: -------------------- root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 172.17.255.80 172.17.255.80:3260,1 iqn.2011-12.com.tsstk:storage.odd.sys root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# iscsiadm -m node --targetname=iqn.2011-12.com.tsstk:storage.odd.sys --login Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2011-12.com.tsstk:storage.odd.sys, portal: 172.17.255.80,3260] (multiple) Login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2011-12.com.tsstk:storage.odd.sys, portal: 172.17.255.80,3260] successful. root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# iscsiadm -m session -P 3 iSCSI Transport Class version 2.0-870 version 2.0-873 Target: iqn.2011-12.com.tsstk:storage.odd.sys (non-flash) ...

CD Player plugin is very happy with it. Now, perhaps a word on the Samsung SE-208BW. This thing is one fierce bag of hurt. The device in itself is sturdy, it has ethernet, wifi, USB storage and USB-OTG (for smart TVs it seems.) But it has been horribly crippled by incompetent marketing and poor software/documentation quality. Out of the box the thing intends to replace your router... But if you care to tinker with it, you can make it work within your wired LAN (doesn't work as a simple wifi client) and get access to DVDs on a tablet, and to CDs on your SBs. It now sells for 1/3 of its launch price, and I can see why :) 4 SB 3 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) SqueezeLite Squeezebox Server 7.8.1 (Debian 7.5) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld ShairTunes by StuartUSA Local Player, BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288
