I'm struggling with getting my ATV2 to see my USB drive connected to my router (NETGEAR WNR3500L). The ATV2 is jailbroken and all the XBMC menus work right but i can't get XBMC to see my drive. I can get to the internet fine so the ATV2 knows the password. Maybe i am just not starting in the right spot.
My XBMC menu is like:
Weather | Pictures | Videos | Music | Programs | System
I would think System is the right option.
Setting / Network from there an enabled uPnP.
I setup SMS client with the IP from the router page - 192.168.1.1 and entered the workgroup.
Then I back up a couple steps and go into file manager. Choose add source. It asks for a path and I enter the IP like 192.168.1.1 and click done. Or should this be the name of the USB drive? or readyshare?
The Browse / add network location?
Most all of the tutorials assume you have your drive hooked up to a PC. I have a mac, but, I want the drive accessed through the router because i turn my computer off at night. This is some type of simple NAS but couldn't make it work. Do I need to buy a real NAS?
I'm missing something here. Any help greatly appreciated. Been at this all day.
