I was given a first gen ATV and I managed to get XBMC installed on it. I have a PC formatted external hard drive that I use on my Acer Revo to store my movies / music etc. When I plug that into the ATV, it is not recognized at all. Is it because it is formatted for PC? Sorry, I know nothing aboout Apple/Mac. I would like to test an .avi file I have on my PC using a USB stick to copy to and play on the ATV. How should I format the USB stick so that it is recognized, or is it just a setting somewhere in XBMC. Thanks for helping a noob.

I don't think Tiger does NTFS well. Fat 32 should be fine. But I don't think that it's auto mounted since the AppleTV wasn't designed to mount drives.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

My inital attemp was using Fat32 and the drive does not show up. Can I not use an external source on XBMC for ATV?

You have to ssh in and mount them manually.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
