I followed a combination of the first post and the one for mounting the dmg file.
All appeared to work, and through putty I can see the XBMC.app file in the \Applications folder, and I created the symbolic link.
However I cannot find XBMC anywhere in nitoTV (0.5.6 take two).
Should it appear in "Applications" under nitoTV, as when I press play on that it just 'bings' at me.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Yay, all working, can see my NAS box and play files just like on my xbox.
Funny that the Play/Pause button changes the screen aspect ratio (like yellow button on xbox remote).

Next stupid question/s.....
Set the Video to full screen and calibrated it no problem
Hooked up to my NAS box and played video.
Set the skin to standard PM3.
Also set the Video to the vertical sync while playing video option.
In the settings, accidentally set the Apple Remote to 'Disabled' (it was on 'Normal' and I thought it might have a setting that made the play/pause button pause, bu the next option was 'disabled' and then of course it no longer responded to the remote)
Had to unplug / replug the atv to get back.
Now when I start XBMC, the screen does not start up (stays with the "Applications" folder, under that "XBMC.app >" and the XBMC logo on the left.)
However, I do hear the XBMC startup sound, and when I use the remote, I can here the skin 'click' sounds.
But no screen.
Any ideas?
(also, after a time out it dims my screen as well until I press on the remote, just like XBMC normally does)

What is the advantage of the "disabled" option anyway? Is it due to interfering with other things? If it has to be there, then perhaps we make it only update when leaving the screen (possibly with a popup to check if a client is connected).

1. Any update on the USB installer for AppleTV?
2. What is the highest bitrate that I can expect the AppleTV to smoothly play 720p mkvs? My videos range from between 7,500-10,000 kibt/s.
