This week the shares on my external hard drive no longer workm when trying to access them via the Apple TV. The shares on my computer itself work just fine, it’s just the ones on an external hard drive that show a connection error now. Anyone else experiencing this?
I did just recently use the Maintenance menu to upgrade to Infuse. Perhaps it’s related?
I use a Mac (latest OS). I can see the folders just fine when on my computer, so I know they are working as they should.
I’m 100% stumped! If anyone has any ideas, I’m all ears.
OK - I found a thread that was similar to my problem, and one that contained the fix. Here’s the thread: Infuse unable to play files "Playback error: An error occurred loading this content" - 2nd gen Apple TV - Firecore
For me the fix was to rename my external HD (I had an appostrophe in it, now I don’t), remove the shares, and add the HD as a single share. Then I removed the shares from within the ATV2, and add the folders I wanted. Favourited them, and we’re done.
I still don’t know what happened to have the shares not working, and I’m not sure if I needed to do all the above, but it’s working and I’m happy.
