Hi,
New user on the AppleTV4.
Trying to add video sources via SMB (connected seemingly to same workgroup where my media files are) but getting consistent timeout.
Any ideas?
The files are hosted on a Windows 8 PC which is located on same workgroup.
1. No user installed addons are supported, python or otherwise.
2. No, they really are not supported.
3. They are not coming back
4. Read from 1. again
Any mention of illegal streaming sites, addons or any pirated material will not be tolerated. This is not democracy and any offenders will be banned and posts deleted immediately without warning.
Other than that, we hope you enjoy MrMC so far and we welcome any input and feedback you might have.
Team MrMC.

Try to add the source by manually typing the server IP address, login and password in "Add network location"

Tried to restart your SMB server?

I assume you mean the Windows 8 PC in this case? That would be the SMB server?

That's right.
Also, check that your firewall is not blocking the access from the Apple TV.

There is no special firewall beside the standard windows firewall and in any case, if the Pie can access SMB, the appletv should as well.

P.S. access via upnp works fine.
