[Apple TV] Errors After Reinstall
#1
Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this problem. I was successfully using XBMC on my Apple TV. I had to restore the factory defaults on the Apple TV, so after I upgraded the ATV software, I reinstall XBMC.

However since then, XBMC won't remember any video sources. I connect it to my Apple Time Capsule using Add Video Source, and it connects and I can watch videos. After exiting and restarting XBMC, the Time Capsule video source has disappeared. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I found a lot of db and file access errors in the xbmc.log.

Any help would be most appreciated!

-bash-2.05b$ cat xbmc.log

There is more error code, but I hit the text limit for the forum.

sounds like permission problems. try
Code:
chown -R frontrow:frontrow /Users/frontrow/Library/
and see if that fixes it.

use a pastebin site like pastebin.com, pastebin.ubuntu.com, rafb.net and post the link here.

I fixed it. I needed to reinstall from the patchstick, then reinstall XBMC. Not sure what went wrong the first time, but there aren't any of the missing file or permissions errors in the log anymore.

Thanks for the help!
