No what i wanted to say is - noone of the ios devs can reproduce it (mhh when i think right there are only 2 ios devs haha). So we don't have a chance to look into it ...

Why would this issue be limited to the scrutiny of the iOS devs? My install of XBMC (eden 11 beta) runs on a Mac Mini and has the exact same problems reported on this thread (media is on a Samsung 2TB G3 Station plugged to an Airport router usb port). It's not an AppleTV XBMC specific bug, it's a mainline XBMC bug.
It also crashes like hell when browsing a recently scraped folder for the first time. Seriously annoying.
Cheers,
Ollie.
Well, for starters, the iOS devs are also OS X devs. The real issue is this: we can't fix a problem we can't reproduce. I've never had this happen to me when I used my Airport router and XBMC for iOS, Mac OS X, or Windows.

In my case, with XBMC accessing a Time Capsule (AFP) and if the drive has spun down, XBMC will lock up or crash. For the longest time aTVflash had a similar issue with AFP that they have managed to rectify by, I believe, adding a wait state, so the drive can spin up. It's funny how with SMB and XBMC it all works fine, but the problem I have with this setup, at least with the time capsule, is the bandwidth isn't there most 720p videos buffer and they don't with AFP. I am hard wired right to the Time Capsule.
My 2 cents
Thanks
Steve

Same problem here.
- ATV2 4.4.4
- XBMC Eden 11
- WesternDigital Disk 2TB attached to Airport Extreme, ATV hooked up over ethernet.
- AFP
- I can reproduce it everytime: As soon as the drive is inactive for too long (about 3 minutes) and I want to
resume or start a film, XBMC crashes.

I too have the same problem with my Time Capsule /ATV2 /XBMC setup.
If I access the Time Capsule folder where I store my movies via my MacBook to "wake up" the drive before using XBMC, then XBMC does not crash. Only if the drive goes to sleep do I have the problem.
A work around I use, which isn't the best but works, is to install a program on my MacBook called "Keep Drive Spinning". As the name suggests, it keeps the drive from sleeping. Only problem is that my MacBook needs to be on in order for it to work and keeping the drive spinning isn't the best for longevity of the drive.

in fact it is the best for hard drives to keep them spinning. Spinup and down puts more load on the mechanics then just keeping it spinning.

It's an easily replicated crash.
What I'll do is:
1st, start a movie with the Time Capsule hard drive awake. (It will play the movie fine.)
2nd, I'll stop the movie & wait for the Time Capsule hard drive to go to sleep. Then I'll attempt to play the same movie. (XBMC will crash and reboot to the ATV2 springboard.)
3rd. Get the xbmc.log file and it should provide some info hopefully as to what maybe causing the crash.

This crash is already known. You don't need to gather any more information about it. We can't do anything about it for now. Maybe the successor of libafpclient will handle this more gracefully...
