Hi guys,
My humble apologies, but I'm a total noob to xbmc. I read yesterday that people had jailbroken their appletv2 and run xbmc on it, which grabbed my attention as I'd like to be able to connect to my UPNP Stora device through the ATV2 to access my home videos, movies, and music.
Before jailbreaking my ATV2 however, I thought I'd try it out on my Mac's first, just to confirm if it works.
I was quite fortunate enough to grab Beta 3, so I gave it go. It looks terrific and I was very excited about what it could do. Unfortunately when I tried to play a number of movie files on my UPNP NAS (a Netgear Stora), I got the "working..." icon at the bottom right, before receiving a "playback failed" message. I thought, well, it's a beta version, so I'll download v.10 (the stable version) and give it go. Same thing. Same movies.
Just to confirm, I can play those same movies using VLC, and a number of other media players, but they just won't play on xbmc. As I mentioned initially, I'd like to see this working on my Mac's before I jailbreak my ATV2, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
I've turned on debugging, and copied my xbmc log to pastebin as I notice a lot of people on the forums are asked to do so. Again, I'm a noob at this too, so I've attached the embedded link I was given on Pastebin below. I'm not sure if it will work though.

In addition, I've restarted my Mac multiple times, closed iTunes (I read that they may cause a problem), and tried Beta 2, Beta 3, and the stable version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
