Ok so I'm really trying to get this to work here. I have some videos on my iPad, in XBMC. I have upnp hosting enabled in iPad XBMC. But on my Xbox for example, I see the iPad-XBMC share but with no videos shared I it.
How do I get them, to show up?
I read up on how to share certain videos for the standard xbmc app, but this ipad one is missing those options.
What do I do?
Thanks

Do you have the videos in the library on your ipad?

That's not in the library. UPnP is a metadata sharing protocol: No metadata, no sharing.
Thus, scan your movies/shows into XBMC's library. They'll then show up on any UPnP client.

Again, UPnP is a metadata sharing API. File metadata ain't enough for a decent experience, so we don't bother sharing files only.
So get your stuff into XBMC's video and music libraries (i.e. all the pretty plot/actors/artwork etc.) first.

Hello seanKPS, I would say if your Library is empty of movies you will have to enable the youtube plugin in video addons this seems to fix the problem with themoviedb scraper which does not want to work.
It is a bug of some sort in the atv2 eden beta1 and 2 unsure if it was fixed in beta 3 possibly not.
While I'm here if you have accents in the movie title (les Miserables, with the funny e)the scraper will pick up the details but i havent figured out how to get the damn movie to play yet. cheers.
