AppleTV 2 not using advancedsettings.xml - T800 - 2012-04-05

Does anything need changing for the advancedsettings.xml for the AppleTV 2?

I have just set up a MySQL database on my main HTPC and now trying to get it to work on my ATV2 running Eden.

On start up I get this in the log:
Code:
22:07:51 T:119607296  NOTICE: Loading player core factory settings from special://masterprofile/playercorefactory.xml.
22:07:51 T:119607296  NOTICE: special://masterprofile/playercorefactory.xml does not exist. Skipping.

I'm using the same xml on my main HTPC running Windows Ultimate 7 64bit - (Eden RC2) but without the Thumbnail path substitution.
I'm also using it on my OSX Intel 32bit and 64bit builds running Eden and on Crystalbuntu without any problems.

This is the advancedsettings.xml:
Code:

</advancedsettings>

Even though it works on all them other machines could it be the spacing between lines?

Could be the windows line endings. Or just the folder. Where did you put that file? Could also be permission issue.

var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata

Just dropped it in via Cyberduck on OSX.

I might be mistaken, but I think the path should be:

Code:
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/

You might want to double check file permissions too.

I just checked there and they seem to be the same place as the advancedsettings.xml is there.

I will look into permissions.

Correcting file permissisions sorted it.
Thanks guys!

I'm having a similar issue, may I ask @T800, where exactly you fixed the permissions? On the ATV2 or somewhere at the source?

ATV2. See iOS FAQ (wiki).
