I've installed XBMC on my Apple TV and it works just fine. But where do I go from here. I need to set up sources, but can't seem to find how to do that. Can someone point me to a "what do I do now" thread? I'd also like to set up AFP, if possible, since ssh is a little more than I'm comfortable with, and since I'd like to install the flash plugin (seems easier via AFP). Any input/direction would be most appreciated...

Each section (Pictures/Videos/Music etc) only shows files that apply to them.
What kind of files are these? What is their filename extension? Also, I'm assuming you added the particular directory as a source inside XBMC?

I see how to add a source, but when I browse the various options, it's all empty. I assume the correct locations exist, I just don't know what I'm looking for. Since I have Movies, TV Shows, Music and Photos already stored on the Apple TV, I'd expect to see files when I browse to the folder "Music", but it's empty. So my question is, what is the location (on the Apple TV) of the various media files, so I can add the source inside XBMC so they can be played? Thanks for your input.

I recently installed XBMC on my Apple TV and it shows all the directories as empty.
I used WinSCP to transfer files to the /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Movies directory. That worked fine but when when I went to that directory from the Apple TV it turns up empty.
The files I transferred were three different types: .avi, .divx, and an iTunes .MOV. None of them were visible when I was trying to add media to my library on the Apple TV.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how I can solve this?

Nevermind! Of course I was finding no files, I was just selecting the directory!
