My file is called 'advancedsettings.xml' and not 'Advancedsettings.xml'

Could that be it? If not, please provide the file and the xbmc.log

Yep its case sensitive on atv2 ... fuckin windows doesn't care about caseing *grrr* ... so rename it to advancedsettings.xml (all lower case)

I can confirm that slaughtering a sheep does NOT fix this Laugh

Pretty sure the latest nightly fixes the music playback so you don't have to add that into advancedsettings.xml. Anyway, to avoid confusion with encoding, use nano and edit the file directly on the atv via putty...

apt-get install nano
nano /private/var/moblie/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

you would be mistaken. advancedsettings.xml has existed for some time for XBMC. It's been available since at least 2006, which is when the XBMC Wiki entry was created on it.

Can confirm I'm seing this problem too: current stable build (Dharma) on ATV2.

In "/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata"/ I've created (via nano) a new "advancesettings.xml" file (& had the sense to `chown mobile:mobile advancesettings.xml`), containing the data:
Code:
<!-- http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Advancedsettings.xml -->
<advancedsettings>

  <nodvdrom>

  <videoscanner>
    <ignoreerrors>true</ignoreerrors> <!-- Set to true to silently ignore errors while scanning videos -->
  </videoscanner>

  <network>
<!--    <cachemembuffersize>5242880</cachemembuffersize>-->
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

I did this because I'm importing/loading new content over SBM/CIFS shares over my network & was constantly getting the error "Unable to connect to remote server \n Would you like to continue scanning?".
I assumed that this setting would suppress such errors with a default "yes" response so that I can at least get my data loaded.

I'm guessing that BXMC on ATV2 is not loading this file; I'll have to make some other changes to confirm this definitively.

Until then I'll hav to keep pressing ""->Yes" every minute or 2.

(btw. isn't there maybe a CLI command I can issue to do this without the GUI?)

You could just update to the nightly build which does not have that problem with the scrapers. Then you would not need the option. It is so much better it is not funny.

Also it is advancedsettings.xml
