Mac users: access MyBookLive from playbook

hi,

Here Canadian Thomas outlines how you can access an external volume from a RIM Playbook using the apache server which ships with the mac:

I used the idea and set up my mac mini to allow my playbook access to my MyBookLive. I thought this was a pretty easy set up and it allowed me to play stored mp3s and videos. HD dragged a bit - probably too much wireless in the path and/or my mac mini is a bit underpowered.

I’d say the several indirect wireless connections are the one playing the bad card in here…

hi,

I agree.

Actually, I was wandering around the house at the time. I sat down in a spot with reasonable reception and tried it again - it was fine.
