Anecdotally, I've seen an increase in the number of crashes back to the ATV interface recently. Always when starting playback of an HD file, and only with Movies, TV seems unaffected (I have around 650 movies in my library, using Thumbnail view in Confluence). It used to happen maybe once in every 10 - 20 playbacks, now it's more like once in every 2 or 3.
I could be wrong but it seems to me the increase in frequency has happened fairly recently. I have been running a nightly of Gotham for months, and then upgraded to each Beta and the RC. It's hard to be sure as I've always had the occasional crash and probably wrote a few off as nothing unusual. With hindsight, if I had to guess I'd say the increase probably happened sometime during the betas. That was all a bit vague and not very useful, I know
Interestingly, I have never yet seen a crash when starting playback from the library lists in xbmcremote, only when manually choosing a movie from the GUI.
Logs and info below from one of the crashes today. This one was on the ATV in my bedroom, plugged straight into a small LCD with no surround, so downmixing the audio. I see the same behaviour on the ATV in my lounge which has passthrough enabled to my amp.
