Hi there,

I have been using XBMC on an jailbroken ATV2 for sometime, and am currently using the Frodo 2.02 version, all has been fine until recently when the system starts up, its gets stuck 'Preparing'.... this makes everything pretty much freeze
I use an Apple Time Capsule as a hard drive which stores movies and shows etc.
I have tried to 'remove source' for movies and TV shows, and then reconnect it all, this has often fixed problems in the past but not this time.
It seems when I try to connect (using Zeroconfig/samba) it just won't find the timecapsule where all the data is stored.
Today I have tried to reinstall XBMC on to the ATV2 hoping that might fix it, but it was exactly the same afterwards.
I don't think it is an issue with the timecapsule as I can connect to it using my laptop and PC easily enough.

I have searched for any similar issues that other users have had but nor found anything that seems helpful or relevant.

I have posted the XBMC.log in to pastebin here http://pastebin.com/VcC6BL1K

Please if anyone has any ideas as to how I can get this working again, I would be eternally grateful!

Many thanks guys!

Have you tried adding it as a manual fixed network location in your video sources?
All sorted people.... I have fixed it myself and all is well

I found the code to remove all evidence of any XBMC from my ATV2 and wiped it clean, then started all over with re installing XBMC and bingo, its working just fine!!!

Thanks anyway!
