In my backend I have both my local and master backends set to the same IP. I did have the master set to 127.0.0.1 but had massive response issues (lockups, slow). I used the default ports. Security pin was also left to the default of 0000.
I didn't have channels set up properly and again had speed problems. I learned the hard way to first make sure everything is working flawlessly from a local (to the server) mythfrontend.
I still have a glacially slow guide in Mythbox but that may be due some lingering channel issues I'm clearing up now.

Now that XMBC is released for Apple TV2, will MythBox also run on it? If so, maybe I'll just go that route than trying to figure out why my video files stop playing after 8 seconds...

I've been working on getting Mythbox running on a black Apple TV. So far the problem that I've run into is that I have to mount the tv directory on the mythtv backend using smb, and I haven't found a way to do this.
Does anyone know how I can locate and load an smbclient on the ATV2?
Thanks.

Okay, hopefully someone might be able to help me out, here is my setup:
PC - Running Ubuntu 10.10 + MythTv backend/frontend + Xbmc 10 Dharma + MythBox
PC - Running Windows + Xbmc 10 Dharma + Mythbox
Using an HDhomerun box hooked up to the network.
I have set up the 2nd pc running windows to access the backend, and I have shared the recordings directory on the Ubuntu machine, so that it can access that too. One thing, I don't know if it is normal or not, is when I have xbmc/mythbox up on the ubuntu machine watching a tv channel, and then I go and pull up xbmc/mythbox on the windows machine, I can see that status and it says tuner 1 is watching such and such channel, but when I go to watch a channel on it, it won't load the channel I am trying to put it on. It will load a channel, and the odd thing is, it isn't necessarily the same channel the ubuntu player is on, but I can't get it to change the channel. No matter what channel I choose, it acts like it is loading it, and then keeps going back to the same channel. Almost like it can't control either tuner, and it is just pulling up the last channel the ubuntu machine had tuner 2 on. Any Ideas? I have to stop the ubuntu machine from playing any channels, and then the windows machine can change channels. Is this normal operation?
Also, when looking at the guide for the current time, how do you tell it to record something? When you go to something coming up, the recording options pop up, but when you go to something that is current, it just changes to that channel?

Are you running Myth 0.24? If so, its not fully working with Dharma/Mythbox. I can get it to work on the same box as mythtv but can't get it to work on any of my other xbmcs. In the process of installing 0.23 now
