Only suggestion I have is it's best practice to use the
username: mobile
password: alpine
when adding things to the /var/mobile/ and all it's subdirectory.
That ensure the proper ownership/permission get set.
XBMC runs as the mobile user. So when uploading files as the root user, XBMC may be prevented from manipulating the file.
So, it's a good idea to get into using the mobile account where appropriate. Otherwise, we get threads popping up with users using the root account for everything, and then wondering why XBMC start behaving strangely.
Thanks for the writeup and sharing. Good info there on how to use WinSCP to transfer files over to the ATV2.
