Thank you bthusby for making this thread! I hope no one took the closing of the thread in the wrong way, but isolating the issues into different threads will be a lot more effective, hopefully leading to a fix or at least a better understanding of what is going on.

I don't understand why people don't think before ranting ...

I've had alot of issues with Gotham crashing my atv2 as well. I just downgraded to 12.3 Frodo. Is there a documented bug with 13.0.1 Gotham and hd video playback on the atv2?

In a non iOS thread (can't find the link at the moment...) there was discussion about how there might be a memory leak with subtitles. It's being looked into and might be related to this situation, though I honestly don't know that for sure. There is hope, though ;)

Frodo 12.3 works great for me for now.. I will upgrade to gotham again once I know this issue is totally resolved.

ATV2 had been unusable for me. Crashing all over the place. I had gone through most of the betas, rc's, releases up until 13.1. At that point I removed all traces of xbmc from the system and installed 13.0 from scratch. I imported my libraries (quite large) from another machine and have done little or no scraping since. My video playback (almost all h264/mkv 720p) has been quite stable. Downloading subtitles crashes about 1 in 4 attempts and never twice in a row. So, for me, xbmc is still usable on the atv2. It's my only media centre at the moment and I use it a lot.
Sorry, I know that this is not helping the devs fix the problem. When I get time and space, I'll upgrade to 13.1 and go back to generating and posting logs. Not that I was very successful at doing it last time I tried. Thanks to the devs for keeping this thing going.

Ever since upgrading to Gotham 13.1 my ATV2 crashes back to iOS frequently upon playback of network video (I upgraded directly to 13.1 with a fresh apt-get install). Sometimes this happens within 1 second of starting and sometimes I get 20-30 seconds before crashing. Sometimes my ATV2 crashes when I'm just browsing through menus though much less frequently. I don't seem to have any issues playing streaming video from various services.
My error log is available here: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=225877
Will wait a few weeks and hope for a fix... otherwise I suppose it is spend 3-4 hours reinstalling Frodo.
This thread is specifically for crashes that seem to involve subtitles/downloading subtitles. This isn't a catch-all thread for all ATV2/Gotham crashes. We had to close a thread because people dumped all their issues into one thread and we couldn't keep track of them. Please make a different thread if you are having crashes such as those when just browsing through menus, and not related to downloading subtitles.

I intended this thread for both issues, because they both seems to be related. Basically unstability due to the system getting "overwhelmed"...
But maybe we should split the thread then, if you prefer, Ned?
The BIGGEST problem is crashing during video playback, and especially while starting the videostream!

Same here.. I have noticed crash occurs more often when I don't give "space" to the xbmc too work slower.
Example. Start video, then immediately go to subtitle downloader and the crash occurs. When I leave the video to play for 10-20 seconds, then crashing occurs very rarely. Hope this gives you some guide of where to search for the problem.

I can offer another observation regarding "Subtitle crash". It is not while Searching for subtitles it crashes, but at the end of the subtitle Downloading, i.e. after downloading for a long while...
