Good evening all,

I have two Apple TV 2's both jailbroken with Kodi installed for video streaming from my iMac. They have been working perfectly for the past few years up until today. I opened Kodi up, selected videos, clicked on the direct link to my movie collection on the iMac and it continuously said "Working" and never got anywhere. When hitting the Menu button to go back one, I get the "Cannot connect to server" message. Both ATV's are doing the exact same thing and Kodi on my Fire Stick is getting the same error. Nothing has changed as far as my network configuration, app I'm using to share the videos (SMB Up) and the settings on the ATV.

One other thing I did notice was when I return to the home screen of Kodi on the ATV and attempt to exit the application like I always do, it freezes and I have to soft reset the device with the remote or unplug it.

Is this something on Kodi's end or possibly something with the ATV itself? I just watched a movie two nights ago with no problems at all and was able to exit Kodi to return to the ATV home screen. Just seems odd that all three devices are having the same issue.

Thanks and I hope this is an easy fix so I can watch a movie tonight while preparing my work files!

Adam
