Hey guys ...
A newbie question i suppose..
I once had it working but now i cannot remember how the hell i managed to
get it to work..

the setup is ATV2, Airport Exteme and a USB HD attached to the AE ..

question is..

· what filesystem should i format my new USB disc with, MAC, FAt or??
· On the AE - should i share the disc with an account, disc password or unit password?
· in XMBC - how do i add this new network source - Zeroconfig, or manuel (ip, password etc..)

I have looked in different forums but could not find a good guide for this ..

thanks in advance..

1. IIRC, APE can read most major formats such as Mac's HFS+ and Windows's NTFS. I would go with Mac/HFS

2. That's up to you. I think it's just saying what password you want to use.

3. Add video -> Browse -> Scroll down and select "Add location" -> select SMB or AFP (should work with either) for the protocol -> Put in the IP address of the APE -> Fill out password if you set one -> click okay -> select the new location you made and press okay again -> Okay again to add it as a source.

Oh, and username I think is the name of the APE.
