I have been trying to get my media synched over 2 ATV2 devices. I have had no luck so far...
I have followed the information step by step per instructions on the lifehacker site. Here is where I run into a problem:
After I have uploaded the advancedsettings.xml file to both ATV2 devices, I attempt to add media files (I did not go the route of export & import.) I am finding the files on my home server by going into the Windows network (SBM) and selecting them. Once I have done this, I am prompted for what type of files the directory contains. I select movies, and "ok". I am prompted if I want to refresh all items within the path. I select "yes" then.... nothing.
I press and hold menu on the new file added, and it doesn't give me an option to re-scan. It does however, give me an option to set content. So for some reason, It is not saving the content I chose in the first place, so it can add it to my libraries. I have tried this several times, and no luck.
Here are my specs:
ATV2 - Eden beta v2 (I also tried this on Dharma, and Eden beta v1, and neither worked)
Windows & network - I have confirmed that the folders are shared.
Does anyone have ANY insight as to why this is not working for me? I am pulling my hair out at this point.
