MAC Remote Disc DVD CD Sharing

MAC Remote Disc DVD CD Sharing Need to enable your remote disc, yet you have cd / dvd sharing enabled and it does not show up. Well with a nice terminal command we can do just that and enable Remote Disc on MAC OS X.

Terminal Commands:

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true

Don’t forget to restart your system after using the terminal commands.

Side note: If you only enable CD DVD sharing you can still share your cd/dvd drive but it will show up as a folder not a remote disc.

Have Fun & Enjoy.
