anybody else experiencing some occasional crashes. For me its about every 2 days. Didnt check the logs yet btw.
Also, how can I disable that the apple tv is going to search for updates while starting. Is it going to update to the latest stable release every restart (for xbmc and broadcom drivers). I'd prefer to update myself and Im not sure about the automatic updating.

I have Sam's image running fairly well on the ATV HDD for about 6 weeks, still using the Ubuntu 8.04(Hardy) and SVN 28256.
The audio on every movie I stream to XBMC has an electronic chattering sound, almost like a toy machine-gun? This used to be intermittent like once in a great while but now it happens on every movie I stream to the unit. Has anyone experienced this? How did you fix it?
Lastly should I upgrade from the SVN 28256?
Thanks

Yes I am using HDMI. I will check to the analog 2 and see what happens as I am using the LCD's speaker system as well.
The wierd part for me is that it worked great at first with no problem. I seem to recall a post by Mr. Davilla saying that .avi's were painful and I think he also mentioned that pulse audio was not friendly either. Not his exact words of course. I can't find anything else on this other that what was in Sam Nazarko's thread of his build.
I am not updating the kernel at all unless it becomes a must do thing. I don't do this type of work for a living and it would take me two days to rebuild the little machine.
I am also trying to find out if upgrading to a later version of XBMC Live would help errors, buffering, crashes etc. I have been living with those things also on an intermittent basis. Some folks have solid stable ATV's and I have one that is about 2/3rds the way there.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that when I can get my girlfriend off the LCD.

For me smb file sharing suddenly stopped working, I can still connect via mac os x, but it doesnt work on my iphone and atv. I didnt change anything on my computer or atv. I editted sources.xml with ip adresses and disabled the use of passwords, and disabled my firewall. But still nothing.
