all Stephan is saying is that he is building it from the kernel up specifically
for 1 platform

I think all he needs is some specifics on exactly what drivers need to be included on the apple tv distro and how to prepare the boot image

tuckbodi Wrote:Yeah, ditto for me as well. My 4gb DataTraveler just didn't quite make it but my 6gb mini-Passport did. And another plus, my SMB is working again! Thank you again Sam, pin87a and of course Davilla.

tuckbodi Wrote:One of the cool features of the ATV OS XBMC, was Launcher, which allowed a menu to automatically update to the nightlies. Is a mechanism to easily upgrade XBMC and the CrystalHD drivers being thought of?

JDizzy Wrote:Question, I have Sam's version pretty well dialed in (although an occasional crash when entering the Movie area). Does having it little less make much of a difference? (although I would like the auto-reboot for the above condition).

JDizzy Wrote:I though Sam said he was working on including those 2 options in a later release.

JDizzy Wrote:I would be happy if there was a way to have the databases, thumbs, config, etc., saved somewhere that doesn't get written over every time you upgrade..... I have a very slow (satellite) connection that is metered (200MB per day), so it takes a while (a few days) to get everything back to 'normal'.
I actually go and download the images from a computer elsewhere.
No DSL or cable available where I live (yet).

Now I'm trying to connect to my windows server share (in a workgroup, not domain) with videos, but I won't connect. I need to enter username/password, but after filling in the credentials and trying to browse on SMB:// an error occurs.
I rember that in previous XBMC versions a default username and password could be entered somewhere in the settings, but I cannot find this anymore.
Anyone here who got succesfully connected with a windows share?

Subtitles show they are talking but nothing is heard beside background noise. Non-MKV's seem to be play fine (avi).

defiler Wrote:Well, I've not had to put in a username/password with recent versions of XBMC, and my server is set to xbox/xbox - still have the old mk1 XBox, see?

Edit: And no, I've not had to add anything on top of Pin's image (or Sam's for that matter) for XBMC to see the share. I think you'd need to install SMB support if you wanted to mount a share at the command-line (I've had to do that with NFS to backup my ATV), but not within XBMC.

Which image do you use, Sam's or Pin87a's R3?
