Mauro Blog

Ok.
Let’s assume you have your ipod movies into the standard Movies folder in your mac.
For example, mine (the user is mauro) is located into:

/Users/mauro/Movies/

Remember: change mauro into your user (ex: timmy).

Now, launch the terminal application from folder “Application” and then “Utilities”.
Execute the following commands:

 cd /Library/WebServer/Documents

 ln -s /Users/mauro/Movies movies

chmod a+rx  /Users/mauro/Movie

Now there is only one step left: find your mac ip address .

Go to your “Control Panel” and open “Sharing”.
Verify that “Web Sharing” is enabled, otherwise enable it.
When “Web Sharing” is enabled there will be something like this on the panel:

Your computer’s web site:
http://192.168.1.3/

but remeber that it may be different.

At this, take your Touch, launch Safari and enter the URL
http://192.168.1.3/movies  or your mac address.

Now you can browse your movies.

Warning: the ipod will play ONLY ipod compatible movies (mov, m4v, etc etc)
