I've got a MacMini with my video library on it, running MySQL. It loads files from a path like /Volumes/Videos/HomeVideos/1.avi
My AppleTV2 has XBMC, setup to read the video library from MySQL too. Unfortunately, it tries to read them from /Volumes/Videos/HomeVideos/1.avi too. I don't think anyone has a kernel for the AppleTV's that can support NFS or kexts yet, so I'm...confused. How can I get this working ?
Could I blow away my video library on my MacMini (losing knowledge of what I've watched) and get it to access the videos via SMB locally ? Then both of them should be told to access the videos via SMB, rather than through a specific pathname..
Is there a configuration option on iOS XBMC that could let me do a search/replace on anything coming from the database, to replace '/Volumes/Videos' with 'smb://macmini/Videos' ?
