[TheUnfound]

Thank you johndo, I have the exact same issue and wanted the exact same info. Every time someone who is stuck posts a valid request for assistance, an xbmc admin fires back with "there's an answer for that, search the forums". Granted, many lazy noobs will want instant answers rather than doing homework. But often, the answer is not stated in any forum, only similar issues which may also have no solution. I've had my ATV2 for around 4 months now, and it is only half functional at best. Purchasing a wifi drive and connecting it to my TV would have done the same thing with much less hassle and frustration. Currently only .avi files will play fine. MKV, MP4, forget about it. I've trawled the forums and searched every keyword. Hardware acceleration turned off, subtitles turned off, download/update/settings/equipment/etc turned off, adjusted, restarted, checked. Buffering and crashes abound.

I'm not a tech noob, but i'm not pro enough to try a nightly release which may fix some of these bugs at the risk of causing others. I've JB'd, SSH'd, restored, and re-installed several times now. As it stands, XBMC for iOS is only 6 months old and not a main release yet. It's still a project in infancy and may not be fully functional until the release of Version 11 'Eden'.

A note to fellow users out there: regardless of platform, if xbmc works for you, donate. Downloading free software, bitching about it not working properly (whether valid or not), having an xbcm team member help you remedy the solution, and then sit back and enjoy someone else's hard work with little more than a thank-you, is brat-like behaviour.
