This is probably a big no-no, but just thought I'd tried my luck...
I have my library stored on a portable hard-drive plugged in to the router, which is great as I don't need to leave the laptop on.
However, there have been times that I'd like to take the ATV2 to a friends house.
But to do this with my entire library I'd have to take the router with me...(my flatmate wouldn't approve when his redtube stream cuts out!)
Would it be possible to hook the library drive up to my MacBook, and host it as a network that the ATV2 then connects to and can access the library without having to re-scan everything?
