another note.... i think if the "SELECT FOLDER" should read "SELECTED FOLDER" it will clear up a lot of confusion. because i've changed the path to my picture several times and the "SELECT FOLDER" always shows the path i chose. so just think the "SELECT FOLDER" should read SELECTED FOLDER and you choose the folder in "SELECT FOLDER (ROOT PARTITION)
i'm thinking that the "SELECT FOLDER" and "SELECT FOLDER (ROOT PARTITION) are connected and that "SELECT FOLDER" will be empty only showing you "ROOT" with nothing in it. once you put your own folder in (in my case VAR/MOBILE/MY BG PIC) the select folder will show "MY BG PIC". for me going to PRIVATE/VAR/MOBILE did not work but just going to VAR/MOBILE did and my "MY BG PIC" shows up there
In the slideshow settings-select folder-root, no folders appears. Even at the select folder (root partition). I'm sure I created the background folder the same you created. Need help please.
@otisecennai Go into File Zilla or whatever service you are using to view the .ssh files and when you have connected to you apple tv, right click or ctrl click on "root" and where it says, "File Attributes" click on that. Then under Numeric value put 777 and apply to all files. WORKED! FINALLY!
@otisecennai i had the same problem. but what i've done is that i've placed my "background folder" in var/mobile directory... and then i went to select folder (root partition) and clicked on VAR and finally MOBILE ** NOTE** on my system i have bunch of other folders in those directory so i had to find the said folders. once i had my background folder hi-lighted press left on your remote. don't go into the folder and try to choose a single picture. once that is done you'll see .. cont...
@zoopmitty ...cont... that on select folder it'll show the name of the folder you chose from the select folder (root partition) part. that should get you going. hope this helps. for me i didn't have anything in "select folder" part except root and that was empty. but once i went in and changed the select folder (root partition) and chose mu folder i was able to get it working with my own pictures.
I have downloaded an HD 1080p size of background images, but it doesn't show at the root folder?private/var/root is this right? It doesn't work..pls help..:)
@artcastle777 yes to media and Library shows but you need to create the Background folder but i have indicated in the video that you need to create the folder...
I managed to access the ATV via shared devices in finder. Created the background folder in the ATV root folder and followed the rest of your instructions, the ATV see's the background folder but doesn't see the images inside it? Also while I was compiling the background folder, I deleted a couple of the images so I now have a 'network trash folder' and a 'temporary items' folder in my root folder, any idea how I can get rid of these? Thanks.
Hey, I'm using Filezilla on a Mac, using the defult login details as you've described, it's not letting me log in the, getting the error message "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Any suggestions? Thanks.
Any idea why the folders in the root section would not be visible? All the other areas are showing up perfectly. Navigating to either the partition version of root, or the root itself only displays the heading -not the folder.
I just wanna ask you a quick Question ive been going crazy trying to figure this out tech, Can you ssh a aeon skin into XBMC on apple tv2 please help bro, give me some kind of answer, thanks bro i know you got the answer, you always do
I'm new to this, so please be patient. My 'root' folder shows up blank. I can see the files in the "/private/var/root/background" directory through Filezilla, but the root folder is blank in the MainMenuSlideShow settings page. I've been scouring these threads and can't seem to find any solution. Is this a permissions problem? or a software version problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. Details: AppleTV 2 (4.4.2), SeasONpass (AppleTV2,1_4.4.2_9A336a_Restore.ipsw), OS (Lion)

@zazzkeeper You have to change the permission on the root folder. I changed mines to 777 and it worked fine.
