I thought I had to have this running on the same box as XBMC so I set up XBMC on the box I use to run my file server. This caused a great deal of issues trying to match up local and smb addresses. While searching this thread for help I stumbled on the thread saying that this can be run any box so long as it is on the network with my Apple TV.
How would I go about setting it up that way? I don't see much documentation on that. Seems like I should have to point to the address of my Apple TV or something.
As a matter of clarity, here is my setup (before I installed XBMC on Laptop 1):
Laptop #1: Windows 7, running MySQL, attached USB drive containing media, NO XBMC, always on
Laptop #2: Windows 7, running XBMC Eden
Apple TV 2: running XBMC Eden, always on
Thanks for the help for a great tool
OK. I got this figured out. Realized I had to change the JSONRPC host. One more question thought:
I was able to get it working by entering the IP of the Apple TV. I would rather use the hostname than the IP. I tried Apple-TV.local which is my hostname but that would not work. Any ideas?
