I have a new behaviour I wanted to run by the forum.
Frodo RC1
ATV2
SMB shares to Airport Extreme with Disk Share and Password protected
XBMC seems to lose the SMB Shares. It pops up a window (which I never saw before) asking for "Username", "Password" and a "Lock" radio button.
Entering in the credentials doesn't work. This may be because the Username field gets populated by brackets i.e. "(username)" rather than plain "username"
To reconnect the sources I have to add the network location again through "add source" i.e. smb://IP Address AEB/Volume Name and complete the username and password field. I then get identical network locations created in my list and the sources will happily connect from this point onwards. However, if I exit out of xbmc the process starts again.
Any ideas?

I don't have an answer but that behavior is very similar to the one I'm having. The only difference is that only part of my TV episode folders are affected, not the entire shared drive. However, on another share, the entire TV library is locked.

Well i can't reproduce that. I went to "Add Videos" -> "Browse" -> "Windows network (SMB)" -> select my NAS.
Now it asks for username and password. I enter both with the original atv2 remote and hit the checkbox so that it saves the credentials for this source. After that i can browse the shares and folders and select the one i wanna have as source.
There are no brackets - what do i do different? (please do a more exact description for reproducing the problem).

I also had this issue and was getting extremely frustrated...i am using just a regular hard drive on my windows machine. All of a sudden after a few days of use with Frodo RC1 i was getting prompted for username and PW. no matter what i did it would not accept them and i couldn't access my shares. Finally a friend of mine said to reboot my router...i didnt think that would do it but I did and sure enough after that it accessed the share without a problem...just thought i would throw that out there...

These brackets are not saved - they are only a cosmetic for seperating the word "username" from the entered login. You rebooted your nas already? Strange that it provides a samba server but doesn't showup in the samba browser...

Ah cosmetic.Thanks for the info
I'll reboot the AE and see if that fixes it. I've never rebooted it so it just didn't occur to me and that might explain why I also saw the symptom on OS X XBMC.

I have the same problem here.
I always have used the xbmc in my atv2 using my airportExtreme as NAS. I always connecting to airport disk using smb protocol without a problem for more than one year.
Since I upgraded to Frodo RC2, I can see my content main folder with all my movies folders, but when I try to enter in the movie folder I got the same lock window asking for the password. I enter the correct password but the window never disappear.
I have tried to go back to stable version, but the problem persists, I have now the nightly build and the same problem.
The problem starts today after I update my xmbc version. Yesterday with the eden I saw a movie without any problem.
