Guys...

I'm on Lion 10.7.2 and of course lost XBMC on my aTV when I upgraded from Snow Leopard.

Its been a while since I've checked in here (I had the link bookmarked) to check and see if the shares issue had been resolved. I've come back today and can't find a trace about the problem that used to be a sticky as far as I can remember.

Has the issue been resolved?...If so...how? I did hear rumblings a while back about "eden". Not sure what that is...not sure if this has resolved the problem.

Hope someone can help on this.

Thanks in advance

For some reason it had been un-stickied but you were looking in the right place when it was stickied.

I can't make head nor tail out of that topic now....looks like there is a solution, but I'm not sure if its working for all?

Will post over there...

Thanks again mate!

There are two solutions, a) install samba3 from macports and use that, b) use xbmc's internal afpclient.

Which would be best to use Davilla?

Thanks in advance!

If you have luck and internal afp client doesn't crash for you - its the best option. Some don't have that luck and in that case samba3 or nfs are the only solutions (at least for full blown protocols with write access and library support)...

Hi Memphiz...

Thanks of the reply...I seem to have AFP working, but I have asked elsewhere on the forum why the video is blurred...or of a lesser quality that say Media player. I don't think I'm out of the woods there.

I did have sharing out to an external drive with XMBC on Snow Leopard. I can't either work this out on Lion using this AFP solution...or i can't remember how i did it.

Will look at this again tonight.

As I said....Thanks!
