However, if you are running OS X Lion 10.7x (or later) you cannot access the SMB server on your Mac from Dune HD player. If you are running OS X versions 10.2x to 10.6x you will not have any problems connecting via SMB to your Dune HD media player.
Therefore in Apple OS X Lion (10.7x) the standard SMB server was replaced with the proprietary Apple SMBX server which is compatible with Microsoft's SMB2 version (Windows Vista/7/8), but not with the standard SMB protocol Dune HD utilizes. However, the Samba team has moved active development of the project to the more strict GPLv3 license which prevents Apple from realistically using the software commercially. Thus Macs with OS X 10.2x - 10.6x installed are fully compatible with all Dune HD media players via the SMB protocol. In both Mac OS X Server and Client editions (OS X 10.2x to 10.6x), Samba enables Macs to easily share files with Windows clients on the network and access Windows file servers.
