apple TV 2 NAS Streaming with xmbc

I work with Dyndns.

But it also have to run with the internal ips?!

It didn´t works!

Leider geht es nicht. Habe es auch mal am Mac mit XBMC versucht: Hier mal mein Versuch

Why are you enter the full path (smb://etc etc). Just enter the server, the shared folder name and user/password. I have the exact same setup and it works flawless. Btw: what's with the WINS stuff ?

piotr is right:

You don't put in all info at once...

When trying to join a network these are the steps (not perfect, because I am not sitting in front of the xbmc right now):

1. select "search" (suchen) in the "add source" tab.
2. go down to "add network source" or similar (netzwerkfreigabe hinzufügen)
3. in the "server name" tab put ONLY the IP-Adress (there is a button for that saying "IP Adress".
4. In the next box called "share" you put the shared volume (I think in your case it is "video" (Freigabe).
5. Then username and
6. Password.

Don't touch anything other than that.

7. You are good to go.

(Worked flawlessly either on the ATV2 and the Mac with the synology Ds410j)

You don't need to play with the WINS servers or anything in your Synology Assistant network as long as you have the ATV get the IP through DNS or you are sure you use the same IP-Adress room and the right DNS adresses.

PS: please consider not writing german in an english forum. People reading this won't understand and ask the same questions over and over again. (vielen Dank).
Thanks.

oh Great! Thx

This works. Now i have to clean the wrong ordner of my experiments.

I think for better performance i have to connect the atv with router with cable

Yeah there are worlds between that. No problem with 1080 over ethernet. Via wifi occasional hiccups.

Have fun.

Is there anyway of adding a nas without adding an ip? I have a nas that's visible on my network to all devices but XBMS can't see it on my iPad, I have a dynamic ip so although the above would work it would be very temporary, any help appreciated, I'd love to have this working on my iPad.

yeah, you can put the sharename of the device instead of the IP.
Although sometimes this makes problems.
Video -> add source -> add SMB share -> for "Server name" the exact name how you see the thing in your network, then the shared volume (first folder that is shared on your server) then username and password.

This should do it.

Thanks, managed to find it, I was gong to fast, found it under video-files.

I had xbmc on my laptop a few months ago and have been recently using a boxee box so had forgot somethings.

I now need to just get the scrapers working and I'm sorted, cheers
