Hi there! I see you're having trouble adding your Dropbox server to 8player Pro on your Apple TV. Let's get this sorted out.

First, just to understand better—when you try to add Dropbox in 8player Pro on your Apple TV, what exactly happens? Does the app freeze, show an error, or get stuck on a certain screen? Also, have you already linked your Dropbox account through the iPhone app?

Meanwhile, here are some steps that usually help with Dropbox connection issues on 8player Pro with Apple TV:

1. Ensure you have the latest version of 8player Pro on your Apple TV and iPhone. Dropbox authorization issues were fixed in a recent update (around version 6.1.7), so updating can resolve it.

2. Link the Dropbox account through the iPhone first: Open 8player Pro on your iPhone, go to Servers, add your Dropbox account there and authorize it properly.

3. Then on Apple TV: Open 8player Pro, go to Servers > Add > Dropbox. The app might ask you to confirm or authorize here too. Sometimes it can get stuck on the authorization screen—if so, try force quitting the app on Apple TV (by pressing and holding the TV button and choosing to close the app) and then reopening it.

4. Check your network connection: Make sure both your iPhone and Apple TV are on the same strong Wi-Fi network without VPNs or restrictions blocking Dropbox access.

5. Sign out and back into Dropbox: On your iPhone app, try removing the Dropbox server and re-adding it, then repeat on Apple TV.

If these don’t work, it might help to reboot both your Apple TV and iPhone. Sometimes cached data causes issues.

Could you please let me know how far you get with these steps and what you observe? That way, I can guide you further or look into other causes if needed.

Are you satisfied with this initial guidance?
