* Have you run out of space on your ATV2? Check with (via [[#SSH|SSH]]) the <code>df -k</code> command. If any /dev/disk* filesystems are at 100%, use <code>du -h /</code> to see what's taking up space.<br /> First places to check are: /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/packages, /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental and<br /> /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other also if you have a huge database, [[HOW-TO:Synchronize_multiple_XBMC_libraries#Syncing_thumbnails_and_fanart|moving your fanart and thumbnails]] will free up some space. | |||
