The version stated on XBMC is Eden Beta 11.0.
XBMC is installed through NitoTV.
Started reading this forum thread from page one due to that I cannot get it to work.
When coming to page 22 of 115 (and counting… I realised that it might be quicker just to ask.
My problem, as many others, that I don’t see anything listed in the Dashboard, Live TV, Movies, etc.
HTTP and JSON RPC is connected and the light is green.
I can find, and start, all movies music and so on when accessing the files through the file browser.
I.e. I am connected to my shared folders on my PC.
I get one error every time I start XBMC:
Script failed!: script.watchlist.
PC is by the way Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.
My router that connects everything is a Dlink Dir-645.
I have purchased the Pro version if this affects anything.
Would really like to get it working due to that the interface really looks nice and would facilitate the way I’m running my ATV.
Thanks’ in advance!
I give you credit for at least attempting to read through the long thread before posting (many do not). I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it's a known fact that the ATV (Original and 2nd Gen) has some 'hardware disadvantages' shall we say. If your libraries are rather large, it can take a LONG time for them to sync properly with Constellation and due to the way the current version is programmed, it will attempt an 'update sync' every time you open the app or resume to it from standby. The ATV devices just don't have enough hardware to handle this overly well (you can almost think of it as a small DDoS attack to the device, but not on purpose).
My first suggestion, from XBMC itself, do a "Clean Database" to stop the syncing of any useless data (media no longer available) which will help shrink the overall data required to sync. Next, reboot the ATV (if possible) just to give it a 'fresh start' (not really required). Next, open Constellation and press the "Cog" button in the upper left and turn on "Disable Idle Timer" (plug in the iPad if the battery is low) and now don't touch anything on either device and watch the iPad right below the area that says "Nothing is playing" and you should see a tiny bar filling up. (First time it fills is doing the music library, second time is video library). Hopefully the bar will fill both times and not take too much time, but again, with the ATV hardware and the size of your libraries this could take awhile. If the sync works fine (the bar both times) you should be set. A future version of Constellation is going to make that "Sync on Open" an option that ATV users will probably want to disable. If you think you've given it more than enough time and it's still not working, please PM me and we can talk about a few other things to try.

You were spot on the money about the @ symbol in the user/password. As soon as I took it out the images popped up.
Cheers guys
Glad you got it worked out... Another user I was working with via PM informed me about the @ in his password so I stuck one in mine to try it and the images broke, so it's confirmed that at least some symbols in the passwords is a bad idea. (I only tried @ symbol) I tested a few other apps (not Constellation or even XBMC related) and found issues with symbols on iOS devices, so I don't think it's something that can be fixed in Constellation itself. (Stupid Apple
)
--Clarification--
The comment made about iOS not sending @ symbols properly: I'm not talking about the symbol in a 'normal' password (ex. Dropbox app) I'm referencing the symbol in a password in an app that passes a user/pass via URL/URI to a third party API.
