I tried connecting to it again through the Infuse app while the USB drive was spinning and thankfully it recognized the media in the main folder and I was able to add it as a favorite. I accessed the USB drive using the connect to network feature on my MacBook in order to spin it up. I then realized that my external USB drive was not spinning and was still in sleep mode. I made these changes, but I was still getting an error message in Infuse that claimed that the time capsule folder was “empty – nothing to see here”. I was prompted to add my Apple ID and password. The only change I made to the stock settings was under the “base station” tab where I activated the “back to my mac” function. Time Machine functionality is not affected.

I also have “remember this password in my keychain” checked. I did not need to change it to “with accounts”. I used the same settings as you, however “secure shared disks” is set to “device password” which I believe is the default.

I believe Infuse is aware of these problems and has promised an update to help address them. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing both the stuttering video as well as the occasional grey screen video freeze while audio continues playing issues. It’s not as convenient as I’d like it to be as it means other devices on my network now need to enter a password to move files to the drive and I need to add a username and password in the Infuse app on my Apple TV but it does the job. You can add either or both to your Favorites by holding down the touch surface on your Apple TV remote Enter the same username and password you set in AirPort Utility previously and save Select your Airport device from ‘Available Shares’ Drag and drop your media files to either of the folders (both are accessible in Infuse) Enter the username and password you set in AirPort Utility From the top menu bar select ‘Go > Network’ Click ‘Update’ to restart your AirPort router Make sure under ‘File Sharing Access’ that ‘Read and write’ is selected Press the ‘+’ sign and enter any username and password (I used ‘media’ for both my username and password) Under ‘Secure Shared Disks’ select ‘With accounts’ Make sure ‘Enable File Sharing’ is ticked Open the AirPort Utility app (in Applications > Utilities) The only way I could get it work was by doing the following: If you have found a simpler way of implementing this I’d love to know! I’m not sure if this MAY CAUSE ISSUES with people doing Time Machine backups to their Airport Time Capsule or Airport Extreme as I don’t use this feature. I have a similar setup where ideally I’d like to move media I want to watch to the USB drive attached to my Airport Extreme so I can turn my Mac off.ĭon’t know if you’ve already figured this out or not but I’ve managed to get it working using the instructions below.
