I thought I could use Windows sharing to get XBMC on ATV to see the USB Drive hanging off of my Airport Extreme. However, no luck getting it to show up. Anyone had any luck making this configuration to work? Will this work?

Probably you should enable samba on appleTV.
Xbmc doesn't support bonjour and afp.

That would be enabling samba (smb) on the Airport Extreme. XBMC already has an smb client built in so you don't need to enable samba on the AppleTV.

I was able to connect by adding the following source in XBMC:
smb://10.0.1.1/Colossus/Video/
Which is the ip address of my Airport Extreme router, then the name of the hard drive connected to it, then the video directory.

My mistake. I meant to write "airport extreme", not AppleTv

Download File is..... ATV SMB XBMC 2.pdf
Works only with-in XBMC and does not need AFP/SMB working from Main Apple TV Menu. (SMB is built in XBMC)

Hm, thread is ~1 year old. You might want to create a new thread with specific questions. XBMC does support zeroconf/bonjour discovery now, so the samba share should be found once samba sharing is enabled on the Airport Extreme.
