Greetings Everyone
i have been a user of XBMC on windows for half a year and am extremely happy with it, great kudos to the developers..
lately i bought ATV2 after XBMC was released for IOS hoping i could stop using my laptop as the media center..
however am getting very inconsistent results.
IOS version: 4.2.1 (4.1.1 atv)
jailbreak method: greenposion
XBMC version: tried all from the start until the last one in hope of things becoming smooth
data: on a western digital world book edition (NAS)
problems faced:
1- smb shares doesn't seem to be working (error 2 even with multiple xbmc restarts) and the only way i can access my NAS is through adding new network location and giving credentials.
2- since smb is not working exporting/importing my old database is not working since the share name is different and files paths are different
3- scrapping the library doesn't seem to work, i see the dialog for scanning for new media for a split second and that's it, no media scanned.
4- performance is inconsistent though got much better in the later version (few seconds to open the movies folder [around 320 movies] and starting movies takes 3-5 seconds which was 10-20 seconds in earlier version)
5- UPNP access seems extremely fast in comparison with split second folder access and movie start, but no scanning possibility.
6- xbmc doesn't seem to restart when changing smb client even though the message says it should.
note: xbmc scrapping on my ipad works just fine but not on my ATV2
i would appreciate help so i can finally switch to my XBMC on the ATV2
