I initially amended attached this question to a very similar topic, but it has been ignored. So here it is again.


Using Gigolo the first time I wanted to try streaming using Panplayer. Since the shares from Gigolo turn up in '/home/kuru/.gvfs' I can't browse to them using Panplayer, no idea how to enable display of hidden files. I made a symbolic link using ln -s /home/kuru/.gvfs /home/kuru/shares which works from thunar and every other media player, but Panplayer does not see the folder, it only displays 'Applications' and 'Desktop' in '/home/kuru'.


So I think maybe this is some /home permission weirdness and try soft linking from the SD card using ln -s /home/kuru/.gvfs /media/4GB/shares which gives me the error message that the operation of creating a symbolic link is not permitted. Doing it as su results in the same.


What's going on here? How can I achieve network streaming in Panplayer? Is resistance futile?
