I recently changed my network setup and now XBMC can't seem to see my network hard drive. Here's the setup:
AirPort Express in the main router. AirPort Extreme is set to extend the network and is located in the tv room. The hard drive is connected to the AirPort extreme which has a wired connection to my ATV.
When I try to add files in XBMC I do the Zeroconf Browser. It recognizes the AirPort Extreme and I have the option between AFP and SAMBA sharing but when I choose either of them it doesn't work. The AFP option doesn't go anywhere and the SAMBA option opens to a folder with nothing in it. On my macbook the AirPort Extreme shows up as a shared device and I can browse the hard drive no problem but XBMC can't seem to connect to it. Any ideas why this might be?
Update: I downloaded xbmc on my macbook and it also can't find the network hard drive, even though I can access it as a shared device in the finder..
