ATV2 - Airport Extreme - USB share ? HOW ? - schioler - 2013-01-30
Hey guys ...
A newbie question i suppose..
I once had it working but now i cannot remember how the hell i managed to
get it to work..
the setup is ATV2, Airport Exteme and a USB HD attached to the AE ..
question is..
· what filesystem should i format my new USB disc with, MAC, FAt or??
· On the AE - should i share the disc with an account, disc password or unit password?
· in XMBC - how do i add this new network source - Zeroconfig, or manuel (ip, password etc..)
I have looked in different forums but could not find a good guide for this ..
thanks in advance..

1. IIRC, APE can read most major formats such as Mac's HFS+ and Windows's NTFS. I would go with Mac/HFS
2. That's up to you. I think it's just saying what password you want to use.
3. Add video -> Browse -> Scroll down and select "Add location" -> select SMB or AFP (should work with either) for the protocol -> Put in the IP address of the APE -> Fill out password if you set one -> click okay -> select the new location you made and press okay again -> Okay again to add it as a source.
Oh, and username I think is the name of the APE.
