Hi all, anyone experienced this and has managed to resolve?
My ATV2 is wired cat6 to my network. That works fine
I have set up two library shares in XBMC: Movies and TV shows. Linked to my iMac
I have quite a lot of media so it takes a while for XBMC to scrape and load all the files.
Once its done its updating, happy days UNTIL....
randomly, could be a few days from now... could be a week... could be a few hours... XBMC doesnt recognise the share location for either movies or tv shows.
To fix, I edit the share location, relocate my iMac in zeroconfig / samba and low and behold it changes the IP address and all works again... but the major pain in this is the re loading of AL the metadata etc again!
I have an ATV1 in the be4droom with xb,c also and this never suffers this problem of losing the share location, its only the ATV2
It also happens with XBMC that I have loaded on my macmini downstairs in the front room too
can any one help me to understand what is causing this and how to fix?
the basic connection of the network is as follows (all cat6)
BT homehub, wireless disabled and wired to apple time capsule.
Time capsule wired to 8 switch hub
Hub wired to ATV2, iMac, macmini
Now im assuming the problem lies here as the ATV1 is purely wireless and has no prob
Help please
Dave
