Hi!
I Jailbreak my atv2 and habe installed xmbc. I add my synology NAS DS110j with SMB. I activate SMB in the menu of the NAS.
But in the xmbc video section i can´t add something. I see the folders of the nas only in upnp mode but no content. With SMB as choice i don´t see my nas.
What´s wrong?

This works great on my internal network, but I'm wondering how well it will work over remote wifi. Has anyone tried this yet?

Actually Nightz, I had the same issue when trying to add the share through the XBMC interface. What worked for me, was SSHing in and manually editing the sources.xml file, located at this path:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/sources.xml
Then I was able to create an entry with the username and password embedded, and it opens fine locally. The entry looks like this:
<source>
<name>MyShareName</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://username:password@externalIPaddress/Video/</path>
</source>
The issue I'm having is that I'm unable to connect when outside my local network. I'm using the external IP, and have port forwarding correctly actived to the internal IP, but still nada. If I'm on my local network, it works fine, which makes me suspect that my ISP (Comcast) may be blocking the ports. But even if I switch external ports, I haven't been able to get through via remote wifi.

Why are you enter the full path (smb://etc etc). Just enter the server, the shared folder name and user/password. I have the exact same setup and it works flawless. Btw: what's with the WINS stuff ?

piotr is right:
You don't put in all info at once...
When trying to join a network these are the steps (not perfect, because I am not sitting in front of the xbmc right now):
1. select "search" (suchen) in the "add source" tab.
2. go down to "add network source" or similar (netzwerkfreigabe hinzufügen)
3. in the "server name" tab put ONLY the IP-Adress (there is a button for that saying "IP Adress".
4. In the next box called "share" you put the shared volume (I think in your case it is "video" (Freigabe).
5. Then username and
6. Password.
Don't touch anything other than that.
7. You are good to go.
(Worked flawlessly either on the ATV2 and the Mac with the synology Ds410j)
You don't need to play with the WINS servers or anything in your Synology Assistant network as long as you have the ATV get the IP through DNS or you are sure you use the same IP-Adress room and the right DNS adresses.
PS: please consider not writing german in an english forum. People reading this won't understand and ask the same questions over and over again. (vielen Dank).
Thanks.
