Hi everyone, this is my first post so please bear with me.
I have a series 1 apple tv that has been patched with the latest version of xbmc. I'm currently running Eden beta 3. The ATV is connected via ethernet over power to an iMac running OSX lion. Shares with XBMC are via the AFP protocol. At the appletv end the ethernet over power connection, the ethernet runs into a switch. The appletv, a DVD player, PS3 and a tivo are all connected to the switch.
basically what keeps happening is that a movie or tv show (streaming from the iMac) with play for a while (anywhere from 15 minutes to and hour) and then it freezes and xbmc quits with status 11.
Prior to installing lion, I used smb sharing with Dhama and never had a problem and that was with old 85mbps home plugs providing the ethernet over power connection.
I have tried: Connecting via wireless n and this worked better but still has the same issue, just less frequently. Thinking it was a buffering issue i bought new 500mbps ethernet over power plugs and they work better too - I can watch an entire 1 hour tv episode but it still will quit during a movie. I have also changed ethernet cables around but to no effect.
I have looked at some other posts on here but found nothing exactly the same as my problem so I hope I am posting in the right spot.
I have seen requests for log files and I have copied mine off the ATV but I'm not sure how to share them with everyone??
Hope you guys can help me
Cheers

pastebin.com is the best way to share them. Make sure the debug logs were made with debugging turned on in system settings, and make sure to edit out any network passwords if you use any for network shares (just use find/replace in text edit. Replace them with *** or something).

Thanks for the quick reply Ned, debugging was turned off so i'll run a movie and get it to quit so that I can post the logs on pastebin.

Ok, murfey's law kicked in and it took a while for it to fail again. I posted the XBMC log on pastebin, link is here:
http://pastebin.com/FAi7RjzJ The crash reporter log was too big for pastebin, do you need it and if so I can email it. The apple tv failed at about 4:15pm sunday the 19th of feb if that help find the problem in the log. The movie Highlander was playing at the time (a 2.9GB mp4 file coded with H.264 and AAC) The apple tv played a couple of other movies straight through without incident just prior to failing on highlander which is very unusual. Also the ATV is connected to a devon av receiver via HDMI, not sure if this makes a difference. Hope you can help Cheers |

Hi Davilla,
I already have a dropbox account, didn't think to use it. The crash reporter log is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7274974/CrashReporter.log and XBMC log again: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7274974/xbmc.log About your second post, are you saying that my problem stems from a known issue with afp sharing? If so is there a better way to share my drives with XBMC on OSX Lion? Cheers |

Hi guys, I'm happy to try NFS if thats the best way but i have no experience with terminal or nano. I tried to follow the wiki but i think i need more detailed instructions. I managed to start nano by typing in: nano com.apple.nfsd.plist but I have no idea what to do next! I don't know how to get to the point where i can insert the '-N' and so on. I hope that gives you an idea of my level.
Can you give me some step by step commands or direct me to a nano guide for dummies? Cheers |
