Am I missing something obvious here, or can I not play movie & tv show ISO files with XBMC on the new ATV2? I've used the search function in this forum, and I've done a bit of Google searching but I haven't found anything.
According to the Feb. 6 change log, "Decrypted ISO playback works." Do I have to enable some kind of setting? I know that not all XBMC features are currently enabled with ATV2's version of XBMC, so I just want some clarification.
Thanks!

Install ftp server on your computer and add that server in xbmc, you'll then have support for both .iso and .img.... You'll lose .rar-support, but just use smb-share for that...

.iso files work for me but are unwatchable due to constant buffering issues. I assume this is true of everyone but if anyone has .iso's working over smb, it would be nice to know how.

Filezilla is easy... Google for guides on setting it up... You only need to serve your .iso/.img folders since smb share works for other files... In xbmc you just add source (ftp) and type in your server/computer ip, and user/pass you chose in Filezilla...
I already have a ftp server and found it easier to just add my iso's through ftp, than installing a nightly build... Everything works just as well as xbmc for windows...
