ATV1 .ceid file on a Dockstar
#1
I'm currently very successfully using a Seagate Dockstar to SMB share M4V/H.264 over LAN to the ATV1+XBMC.

I'd like to add a WD TV Live(2) to the system as a second player. but the Dockstar doesn't simply show up as a share like it does for the ATV and most all other things - I have been told I have to add (or possibly alter) the .ceid file like this -

Quote:Plug your USB drive into your computer and create a file on it named .ceid

Using notepad, or your favorite text editor, put these lines in the file
(replacing yoursharename with a name of your own choosing). Note the mode=rw
allows reading and writing.

servicename=yoursharename
xcode.metadata=never
xcode.thumbnail=never
xcode.stream=never
cifs.mode=rw

Plug the usb drive into the Dockstar, and you’re all set. The drive will be
available as
\\fadsMMMMMM\yoursharename (where MMMMMM are the last 6 letters and numbers
of the Dockstar’s mac address, which is on the label on the bottom).

So the question is simple -

Will doing this TRASH my working ATV1 XBMC setup?

Nope, it should still be just fine for XBMC with those modifications.
