Hi all,

I am new here and visited the forum by ending up with some google-actions. I have read a lot of threads now but cannot find how to resolve my issue.

What my issue is:
I have an Apple TV with XBMC (latest, don't know where to find the type) yesterday followed the followed this guide) but uname -r gives version 8.8.2
I want my server with all my movies to be mounted on the Apple TV. When i type:
-bash-2.05b$ mount_afp
-bash: /sbin/mount_afp: No such file or directory

So that means that i cannot mount afp. And also:
-bash-2.05b$ mount_smb
-bash: mount_smb: command not found

Trough the GUI i cannot seem to mount the share. It doesn't matters if any of you guys recommend AFP/SMB or NFS because i have no issues installing this on my server. Also this manual doesn't seems to work since i don't have 1.x but 2.x or so.

Thanks in advance! Laugh
You should just be able to use Samba.

Enable samba on your server.
Add a new source in XBMC (you may have to disable library mode)
Browse to your Samba network.

Worked for me.

This didn't worked. I will write a how-to on how to enable samba on the latest since you need some files and some commands ... However i now need a script to run on boot. It is a shell script (.sh) to run on XBMC boot, how can i accomplish this? Does anybody knows this?
