I am having issues sharing my files on my MacBook to XMBC running on my Apple TV 2g. I am running Snow Leopard and followed all the steps to enable smb sharing:

1. Went to System Preferences -> Sharing
2. Checked "File Sharing"
3. Went to Options and checked "Shares files and folders using SMB (Windows)" and I enabled the profile that I am currently using.
4. I shared the one folder I wanted on my desktop. It currently is set to where I have permission to "Read & Write" and Everyone has permission to "Read Only" (I even tried to change Everyone's permission to Read & Write to see if that would help, but it didn't).

Then when I go to XMBC on my Apple TV and add sources, I go to SMB -> Workgroup -> My MacBook

It's here when I click on my MacBook's name it says Operation not Permitted and nothing happens.

There's no password on my user account.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same issue... I been looking all over the web... Nothing. I know it must be hopefully a easy fix, but I just can't figure it out. Please help :confused2:

I have OSX Lion

for osx lion see the sticky thread at the top of the forum ... lion and smb with xbmc is a no go!

Yes and No... After doing more research on this, I found out that I was searching the wrong info.
@vegeto2k222 we where search for the error code and that is why we was not finding any info on this.
But if you search for Mac OS X Lion + XBMC on ATV2 you will find out that, Yes smb is a no go! but there is a work around to get smb to work again. Reason being , is that Lion "only has smb 2.0 and not 3.0" (<<<I probably said that all wrong but, I hope you get the drift).

Instead having anyone else look at this and going bald from pulling your hair out... Try this link and hopefully this will work.

I don't have Lion though, I use Snow Leopard.

I know this question has been answered multiple times...on Lion, but I don't see an answer for Snow Leopard

@ned Scott- I will send you my log so you can take a look at it. Thanks!

You go to your sharing settings and set up the share through AFP (I think it's called). Then, in XBMC, you add a network share and tell it to use the same protocol. I don't know all the exact steps, but I can look them up later. Sorry. I just went through this not long ago with my own setup.
