Looks like you really managed to trim the noise from that log file. It seems to be invisible
Yes he does know what he is talking about when it comes to what XBMC can and can't do.

I hadn't used my atv2 for a while as I got a new TV recently which can play 1080p/DTS MKV from USB, however I decided to see how xbmc was getting on.
I was previously using I think (June) stable release and had for me this version worked really well, all very smooth no problems.
I updated to the current stable build and have had nothing but buffering problems and a large percentage of my movies no longer play at all.
Ideally I would like to revert to a historical stable build just to see however I could not find it so installed a nightly build (15 Oct 2011). It is slightly better however not watchable.
All movies are streamed from my QNAP using smb on a 100Mb wired LAN.
Could be a issue with connection although other devices on network have no issues however firmware of QNAP has been updated since xbmc last used so is a possibility, would like to rule it out regardless.
I have noticed in the xbmc.log quite a few 'unix' errors relating to permissions denied while the movies plugin is running however other devices can access fine while using a guest account. I have disabled this plugin to cut out log noise for now.

are you really sure ATV2 can´t decode mpeg4 with hardware decoder? I tested to encode a movie in MPEG4 with Handbrake and mp4 container, I could run with hardware acceleration in iPhone 4 (AVPlayer).
