Bought an A TV2 with the intention to jailbreak it and rum XBMC, thought it should be a lot easier that I now realize that it is.
I’m using a macbook pro with 10.7 and could by that not add a source by SMB.
but is there any way to add source as easy as this:

Have spent hours searching for a good, and for me understandable solution, but not really found anything.
Have seen a thread about setting up a webDAV using Media Master Server http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=106636
Maybe that is the easiest way to go?

Might go without saying, I’m not an advanced user and chances are that there already is answers on my question in this forum that I not been able to find.

XBMC now has AFP support (Apple File Protocol) so just use that. The AFP client can be buggy sometimes, but for some people it seems to be working great (myself included. Sometimes I have to reboot, but it's not often).

After that, yeah WebDAV is probably the next simple solution (for the time being).

First of all, thanks for the support!

XBMC now has AFP support (Apple File Protocol) so just use that.

If using AFP do I need to add that source manually, like afp://ip number/ folder name ?
I don't see afp as an option in the menu, like smb does.
