Sharing folders on VirtualBox from Mac host to Linux guest

Not sure if it was necessary, but it didn't work for me until I used lowercase for the VirtualBox name of the shared folder (the folder itself was still capitalized).

su root

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=ben,gid=ben,umask=022 notes /home/ben/Notes

exit

That is what worked, here are some things that didn't work, for this folder only

Embed BlipTV videos with emfield module: use file URL, not embed code

Agaric's (ok, Ben's) patent pending Solution-first, random notes after, presentation:

Use the file URL, not the embed code or play URL or anything else.

You can get the file URL by clicking on "This episode's permalink" - that's the URL you want to use.
