Memphiz Wrote:its under zeroconf - afp doesn't have its own browser protocol like smb, nfs and so on...

Thanks, but under Zeroconf there isn't anything. Will the AFP option show when there is a Time capsule on the network or also if there isn't any storage that use AFP system?
I am asking this because i still haven't a time capsule, but only my pc with windows 7 where they are stored my media to share.

Thanke ad excuse me for my englishRolleyes

Do you have problems when stream from time capsule? Buffering?

if your tc doesn't appear under zeroconf this would indicate a problem imho... you could add the afp source manually of course as

Code:

but when TC appears under Zeroconf, the link is AFP or SMB?

I can see the AFP option in Zeroconf, but when I click on it nothing happens. I've clicked on it many times and restarted my ATV2 tons of times - nada!

So as per the advice in the ongoing thread - i've manually typed in the AFP source.....but when i execute it - my ATV2 resets!!! Argh!! Again, i've tried this many times but the manual AFP source does not stick.

I have the latest xbmc update and nightly as of Oct 9th

Any suggestions anyone - why I can I not select the afp in zeroconf and why does my ATV2 keep restarting when entering in the AFP source

Many thanks in advance

I addition - I am currently running 4.2.2 (2203) - can anyone comment if this may be the issue? Is there a jailbreak from the latest version of ATV2?

After a long time I've finally got my Atv2/XBMC setup back to where it was prior to Lion messing things up.

My problem: My Atv2 would keep on resetting when entering the AFP source.
The Solution: By default on a Mac, you set your account by your name (Bob Smith) First name, Last name. I noticed that when trying to add my afp source in manually and removing the space between the Bob Smith it wouldn't reset. So....

I changed my iMac account name to my first name ONLY. I then edited my afp source code to be afp://Bob:[email protected]/Apple

It worked!!

I hope this helps someone.

Cool thing. It would help me if you could get it back to a reset and provide the crashreporter log so that i can try to fix that crash (see the first link in my signature). Otherwise - hf with xbmc Smile

I also doubt it's related to your software version but it shouldn't hurt to run the latest, i.e. iOS 4.3 build 8F455... and keep updating to the latest nightly.

If you're comfortable editing files directly on the ATV2 you could edit /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/sources.xml and add the afp source. For example: (obviously your IP and path will differ, note AFP paths are case sensitive, SMB paths aren't.

Code:
<source>
            <name>Wired AFP</name>
            <path pathversion="1">afp://192.168.1.11/Videos/</path>
</source>

It is not necessary to change your long username. Your account also has a short username (usually the name of your home folder), which cannot contain a space. By default, OS X will take the "First Last" of your long name and make the short name as "firstlast", although you can change that when your account is first created (or later if you want to jump thru some hoops).

Cheers,

I don't know if it's AFP related, but about cpu usage on my 2011 13" MBA is :

While playing a movie : 10-13%
While the movie is paused : 14-15%
While browsing for files/tv show/movies : 44-47% (!)

Is this normal? I would've thought the cpu usage will be a lot more when playing a movie..
