XBMC has AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) client support for media on all platforms. We don't recommend using it, as AFP support in XBMC is very buggy right now.

AFP in XBMC is kind of broken and you shouldn't use it: Most users are reporting crashes when using AFP. This mostly is detectable by seeing something like " 1174.20:17:33 T:145559552 ERROR: LIBAFPCLIENT: I have no idea what this is a reply to, id 29249. " at the end of the xbmc.log.

Using external drives
Beware: When sharing an external drive via AFP from within MacOSX Snow Leopard or MacOSX Lion keep in mind that only HFS+ formatted drives are shared. This is a restriction from Apple. You can't share FAT32 or NTFS drivers from within MacOSX! See: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/505
