Mount external drive via SMB on AppleTV


It’s been a very long time since my last post :P I have wrote many articles about AppleTV so far. So now I realize that the best way to hack AppleTv, is by using ATVFlash . It’s very easy and take less than 15 minutes for the whole process. The things I like about ATVFlash, is the fact that it comes with many applications, my favorite are NiToTV and XMBC.

At the moment I’m using NAS to store all my TVshows and Movies. I did mount NAS to my AppleTV with NiToTV. After running SmartInstaller, I can plug in external HD via USB or mount any network drive to AppleTV. The hard part is how to input the correct SMB path in NiToTV. I spent several hours to figure it out. Here is how I did it.

First thing, I have to mouth NAS to my MacbookPro first to see if SMB is actually working. In Finder click on  [Go>Connect to Server] and put in the address of the NAS smb://192.168.1.102

Right click on mounted drive and Get info. I can see [Where: ]the correct path.

Then go to NiToTV > Network and Mount the network drive

Just input the information as shown in the example above..boom .. done!!

Enjoy ^_^
