PS. I just try to do this way,on the first ATV2 i login netflix and try to watching one movie just fine,after that i connect with WINSCP and copy folder frontrow to desktop,after thats i copy that folder to another ATV2 but when i turn on Netflix its can not remember the login information on the 1st ATV2. is it i missing something?do i have to set the permission number for frontrow folder?

just re jailbreak it. would be easier and faster than trying to fix something that cannot be fixed. Besides, you will only make it worse poking around in the system folders.

Hey Mighty,

I don't want to re-jailbreak. I do want to learn and find out where abouts my NetFlix folder and how do I recover that folder and keep it safe place?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

its an encrypted file anyways. even if you found it, you cant do anything with it.

Clone your working apple tv to the broken one and run the Following Command when files are copied:

chown -R mobile:mobile /

Copy which files? the whole root directory?

give it a shot. i still say a re jailbreak is much easier and faster.

you use this link as a guide to quickly clone you xbmc. total mod time is under 10 mins to fully re jailbreak.

By the time you have finished reading this post you could have re jailbroken your apple tv and saved yourself hours of wasted time. There is no answer to your question.
