Guys,
I have installed all night builds on my Apple TV. The last build gave me troubles and I had to jailbreak Apple TV again and reinstall everything.
When trying to install the latest build (Feb,01) I got the following error:
Unpacking replacement org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2:
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 depends on org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock; however:
Package org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock is not installed.
dpkg: error processing org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
I didn't have "org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock" before on the previous build and it worked. Do I need to install this file first? Where do I get it?
Thanks!!!

I've been testing latest build -020111- and xvid seems to be faster although not enough to be able to reproduce 720p xvid ac3 movies, a lot of buffering and evidently the software decoding is trying to catch up, using "sync playback to display: off, allow hardware acceleration: on, audio: optical, speaker configuration: 2.0, DTS and AC3 passthrough: on, no postprocessing and default bilinear scaling"

I am using ATV2 (4.2.1) and I have also some bugs to report:
- HDMI problem using philips 42pfl5604 LCD. It takes about 30 minutes that the display switches first to a green screen for about 1 second. After that the screen looks like there is a magenta and cyan filter overlayed. Then after 5 minutes screen is normal and the cycle starts again. Observed lately that times vary
- Problems when scraping and watching videos. XBMC wants to buffer video all the time while it is scraping. Would be better if all scraping actions are paused while playing video.
- BluRay Videos (m2ts) seem not to work flawlessly. Maybe Hardware is not powerful enough
- It is not possible to select deinterlacing. Maybe also due to missing hardware capabilities. Would it not be possible to give out interlaced video interlaced to the display? Then the deinterlacer of the device could do the job
- Live TV using UPNP (DVBViewer) is not working flawlessly (SD) or not working (HD)
- It is nearly impossible to handle pictures at the moment. XBMC is loading very long in picture folders. After loading a picture it is not displaying it. But pictures are displayed as thumbnail. Maybe it is in my case a little bit too much for the hardware because in the folders are many pictures from a DSLR.
- Sometimes xbmc crashes
But despite of this remaining bugs in the ATV version I want to say that XBMC is a great piece of software. I used it a long time on the XBOX and lately I came back to it using the windows version. Using PC it is nearly perfect (If some bugs are fixed and Live TV capabilities like in DVBViewer would be added it would be the ultimate HTPC software) and my reference. I hope it goes like this (surely considering the hardware capabilities) also for ATV.

Holding the menu-key for longer than 3 seconds crashes (or exits ?) XBMC. Is this by design ?
