I use windows XBMC on my and laptop and my desktop both windows 7.
I play movies and music from both computers through xbmc via my drives i have allocated on my network...everything works good

Now I bought a Appletv2 running 4.4.4 jailbroke with Seas0nPass xbmc installed,the end result would be just to use the appletv and delete xbmc on both computers


But if i open a directory on my appletv2 via xbmc, xbmc asked for a smb username and password so I cannot access my network drives where my movies and music are located I again do not have this problem as it does not ask for a username and password on my windows xbmc accessing the same drives

anyone got any suggestions?

solution - put in the username and password of your useraccount of your windows user?

Too simple.
Use Linux. Problem solved
It is kind of sad that windows boxes tend to have the most problems using smb these days.

I also found it strange that my windows and mac XBMC would just go fetch the files off my nas but my ATV2 wanted a username and a password.

If you add a new smb sources source the dialog box that appears has a space for a username and password (even if it is anonymous/whatever it will work or at least it did with me)

Not if you have guest access configured.
