Boxee Video Tutorial: How-to enable file sharing on Mac

[anole44]

So I have to turn on file sharing just to view the files on my mac with boxee running on the same mac? This product might be ok but the instruction and lack thereof is terrible!

[cbjornnes]

*high five* ibog! I'm not a network person AT all and this video was perfect. Thanks much, I can now connect to my Mac from Boxee. You're the bomb, dude.

[MrCamshack]

I can't turn sharing files on on my computer...I'm guessing my parents blocked it. How can i fix it?

[mattsarah6]

Hi hope you can help. i have a Boxee Box and wanted to be able to see my Media that i have on my mac book, just how you can with the apple TV. can you tell me how to do this as i cant get it to work, many thanks

[soulslave]

can this be possible on not a local network? being able to share movies and pictures with friends on remote access to boxee would be awesome

[ansfrid]

You are a god. This is exactly what I needed.

[gfantsaez]

ibog is the man.

So now I have some shared folders but no content in them. Why can't I just share my iphoto library with Boxee?

[XefNed]

Bill, instead of sharing an empty "shared" --> "Media" folder like he does in the tutorial, you just share your existing iPhoto library in Users --> BillFarm --> Pictures.

Same with your movies and music folder. That part he left out. It's not totally obvious to everyone.

This was one of the clearest on-line presentations I've ever viewed. Thank you.

Thank You soo much. I love Boxee but HATE Hulu right now

[housemuscle]

good tutorial, thank you so much!!!

[Xibalba16]

excellent video - effective and simple with clear instructions and explanations - thank you!

[iinfiniteammo]

Good stuff!

[atticusantonietti]

The video is well done.

But what happens if one's workgroup field is blank? Mine is. And my mac will allow me to type in "workgroup" but doesn't appear to save it. Which is to say: When I click "advanced" the workgroup field is again empty!

[fuckinghellsortitout]

Same problem here.

[lbotez]

I have the same problem. Wondering if it's because I have one computer hooked up to the router via ethernet, and the others are using airport.... I still can't can't see any folders on the AppleTV from my computers...

[harkjohnny]

oh, and will this work with aliased folders being placed into the newly shared Media folder?

[berdelyi]

I've never tried that, let me know.

[harkjohnny]

thank you! thank you!

[VoiceMessenges4You]

Great vid! I like it...(but) can you show us how to set it up in Boxee now!

[hipotinuse]

Can anyone help me run Boxee with my Mac Os 10.4? Tks.

[jefedezorros]

Is it possible to get the same results in 10.4?

[berdelyi]

Sorry, I'm not running 10.4 so I can't create a video on that platform. I wish I could install Mac OS X in Vmware

[countriesincolors]

thanks.  very useful

[frankiepdx]

Well it worked on one of two of my apple tv's. I'll get it. See ya in the forums.

[xain09]

Very well done :)
