View Full Version : AFP issues since Snow Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard Boxee can't seem to reach folders that are shared via AFP. Prior to upgrading I would add a local source with the path...

/Volumes/[AFP Share Name]/[Folders that lead to my videos]

...and this would always work. It was as if these folders were on my own machine.

After the upgrade, however, when I try to browse this source I get the error "Failed to retrieve data". If I add the source from scratch, I can see the folders from the share, so I KNOW that I'm connected and that the folders are visible to the OS/Boxee, but I just can't browse to/play the media in those folders.

Any thoughts?

I think Marcel wanted all Snow Leopard bugs in this thread (http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=11521)...

Really lament? Because it doesn't say that anywhere in that thread.

So even though I wrote a detailed message about a problem others are having, as well, I'm going to be ignored because I choose not to add this topic into a thread full of problems with the remote?

For the record, my AFP server is a Time Capsule.

Marcel wrote on the first page of that thread:


if anyone is having problems with snow leopard please post them...thanks:)

the thread it not just about the remote. Marcel is asking anyone that has Snow Leopard issues to post them in that thread.

It's not about being ignored - it's about keeping it organized into 1 thread.

I would also suggest putting your issue into jira (http://jira.boxee.tv).

I created a trouble ticket with Apple on this issue on September 8. Apple support said that their Engineering was aware of the AFP problem and is working to resolve it.

I will update this thread when I hear back from them.

And back-revving is a real problem. Restoring from the Time Machine just doesn't work when going to an earlier OS version such as Leopard. Users can come back, apps don't. Most keychain items fail. iTunes is OK but iChat lost its settings and lists.
