Hello everyone, I’ve done all the setup and it works fine., but I have an external hdd which has all itunes ready music/video collection (on my mac based itunes I’ve just told hem to use the ext source and that worked) But how can I do the same (ATV think that external is actually internal)? Because I want all the content from my hdd with all tags and artworks was seen as it suppose to on my ATV.
Example, I go to “Music” and ATV sees what stored on external hdd and shows all the artworks, tags and stuff.
This is something I have battled over for months and I can’t figure it out myself. I bet there has to be a way, but it might be a little advanced for the Unix knowledge I have. I think the only way it can happen is if you trick the AppleTV to treat /Volumes/USB_DRIVE as / the root of the drive. You would have to set up a script on boot up that does that. I’m jut not that savvy in Unix to know what to do at this point.
Key Features:
…
Enable External USB Hard Drive Storage
Expand the storage capacity of the Apple TV by attaching an external USB hard drive. Supports up to 1TB drives.

Okay, I checked that page out and it was helpful in allowing me to connect an external hard drive, but how do I make that hard drive my main hard drive? (I guess I really need it spelled out for me.)
