I try to connect to my computer or my nas and they show up in the menu when I go to files zero config but it just sits there when I click on it and nothing happens.

Very frustrating

Running 13.1 on fire TV.
Just enter your information manually. That's the only way I could get mine to connect to my server.
I had the same problem with the AppleTV2 so I don't think it's a FTV problem
How do you do that? When i add my ip address of the iMac it says xbmc could not connect to the location
Which file sharing protocol? SMB? AFP?
AFP
Try smb
Tried that doesn't do any different.
Are you trying smb from zeroconf or from smb:// ?
Smb from smb just sits there. Even when I was Able to connect on AFP some time back smb never would connect kept saying some error.
Running Mavericks by any chance? I think there might be some lingering file sharing issues with Mavericks.
Yea I am. It was working and has been for awhile but it just stopped one day

Well I had a cable modem router in one then I bought a modem and router that were seperate because the old one could not handle pulling HD from my computer to my fire. But I tried going back to the old router and still the same thing so not sure
Anyway I can get around mavericks doing this?

No it says under smb operation not permitted when I try
Still having issues any ideas?
