ATV2 + Airport Extreme with external hard drive
#1
Hi. I just bought a jailbroken ATV 2 with XBMC 12.2 Frodo and I cant see my movies that I have on an external hard drive connected to my airport extreme. I have tried to add it with zeroconfig but i does not show under afp or samba, I cant get it to work if i manually type in the address afp://...@...._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Marten. I dont know where to put in the password for the HDD since it never comes up in the ATV. I have enabled filesharing in the extreme. I have a macbook pro. All connections are wireless.

I have read and tried all the threads I have found in this forum.

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

I think I finally got it! Installed old airport utility (http://frank.is/mountain-lion-and-the-ol...t-utility/) and checked guest disc access which is missing in the new airport utility.

The guest disk access provides access to the content on the drive without a password. So anyone on your network would have access to it. Which is fine if you're ok with it. Just wanted to give a heads up.
