Appletv 2, iOS 3, jailbroken with Seasonpass.
Using the latest nightly build.
I bought a refurbished Appletv2 about a week and a half ago, I jailbroke it using Seasonpass and installed the latest nightly build of xbmc. I got the unit set up and it worked perfectly for about 5 days. Xbmc can no longer see my media from my Windows 7 desktop or my workgroup as a whole.
XBMC is connected to my media though a smb share to a computer running Windows 7. One day it stopped working and says “share not found”. If I try to add a new file source and browse to my workgroup XBMC can’t see anything (including the workgroup itself) and If I manually type in the correct address it still says share not found.
My network is wired from my Windows 7 machine to my ATV2 unit using cat5e/6 trough a gigabit router.
I am still able to SSH and FTP into the Appletv2 device so I don’t think it’s a network connectivity issue. I am able to connect to the same Windows 7 machine using UPNP though PS3 Media Server. This isn’t an ideal solution as I was planning to migrate my media to a unraid server and connect to that using smb but since held off because I of this problem.
In addition to what I mentioned above I deleted my userdata folder for xbmc to restore it to default thinking I did something to it. I still am unable to see my workgroup.
FYI, I also installed a windows copy of xbmc on my laptop, and I am able to see my workgroup and add paths accordingly.
Any help would be appreciated I am not sure what to do now.
