Stupid question. I cannot remember how to add folders of video files from an external hard drive on my iMac so that XBMC can see them, and I can't seem to find any instructions. I did this several months ago when I first got my Apple TV 2G. However, I just updated to the newest iOS (4.3 Build 8F305) with the Seas0nPass jailbreak, then installed NitoTV, then installed XBMC 10.0-9 using NitoTV. So, the links to my video folders need to be redone.
The computer is called iMac (running Mac OS X 10.6.8)
The external hard drive is called Media
I have set up SMB file sharing on the iMac, including the external "Media" drive. In fact, it was all working just yesterday before the updates, and I have not changed anything on the iMac.
I have gone to Videos > Add Videos and have tried many combinations under smb, zeroconf, and add network share.
smb://iMac
smb://iMac.local
smb://iMac.local/Media
smb://192.168.x.x/Media
etc.
I have tried entering a username and password under the Add Network Share.
I keep getting "could not connect" and other errors.
Under zeroconf, I see "iMac (SAMBA)", but I have no idea what to do from there. The select button does nothing.
Are there some simple step-by-step instructions somewhere to get this to work?
