I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about here. But I do wish you luck! lol!
Extra storage, accessed thru network!!!
ok, let me break it down for you.....jailbreak required for ATV....there is other media players on ATV, but XBMC stands out(for me).
******
i currently have access to any media files that is on my Mac(on my network) or you can use an External HDD(hard disk drive), or preferably a NAS (
Network-attached storage) ...by using XBMC on Apple TV, where i can browse a file list of my media, because i added the source for it on XBMC.
nevermind it looks like windows, this is how it would look on ATV2.(just using a screenshot of the webs).
****************
now this.....
i am currently trying to have access to my USB HDD(1TB), plugged into my Apple Extreme(router), without the need of my Mac being on, to browse my Media on Apple TV2, with XBMC.
What i was trying to say, i only have a 1TB external HDD(USB), that is not NAS storage with an ethernet port to have its own IP connection, so that i can connect to it with my Mac off,.... but with my Mac on only, because my Mac allows my HDD to be visible on my network, which i can access using my ATV.
Because i don't have a NAS setup.....
Network-Attached Storage (NAS) : Drives & Storage - Best Buy Canada
Network-attached storage (NAS) is hard disk storage that is set up with its own network address, rather than being attached to the computer that is serving applications to a network's workstation users. The network-attached storage device is attached to a local area network (typically, an Ethernet network) and assigned an IP address.
The NAS doesn't have to be that big for home use.
