If you're completely new to XBMC I would suggest for starters going here:
http://xbmc.org/

Has lots of info and will answer your most questions.

On the other hand if you want to quickly check your movies, in XBMC go into videos, then Add Source, locate smb shares and navigate to your video folder on your PC. Also 'Set Content' to imdb if movies.

I too just installed on my ATV and very impressed. I setup SMB shares successfully for pictures and videos.

I added an SMB share for music but get an "Invalid Argument" error.

All the shares are located on the same server and I'm using the same username / pwd for all shares. I verified permissions and reset at the top level and pushed down to all three shares.

Any ideas on why this one share isn't working?
