Keith,
Great build, i played several movies and skipped and fast forward through them and they all seem to be running smoothly. However once on a blue moon, after several fast forwarding, you will start buffering quickly and then the movie will freeze then slows down, sound will dissapear then the image will freeze and system will crash. I will try and reproduce it again tonight and hope to have a log before the crash, anyhow just wanted to point out that the sound fix is almost perfect,
Regards,

running ATV2 4.2.1 jailbreak GP
XBMC nightly April 17Th
Was having issues with some media files as described in my other posts but keiths advice was to jump to the nightly build.
So my experience so far has been great. Its only been 2 days and i will post again after watching more movies and trying different things but so far all is good.
Sometimes when FF it tends to drop sound for a few sec but it did that before so i dont see that as a nightly build issue. Although if you want a log i am happy to post it for you.
Thanks again for the hard work. We apple TV lovers are very very happy at least i am and i am very thankful for the awesome work you guys are doing.

I understand that 4.3.1 is fixed, but seems 4.3.2 is not function again.

Since I searched a lot in these forums for information about XBMC on iPad but not found that much I feel that I can contribute with a success story.
iPad 1
IOS: 4.3.1
Installed XBMC from 17/4 via ssh and everything works just the way I want!
For the first time ever I am now very pleased with movie-playing on my iPad!
The UI works with touch-functions with the standard skin and so far I have not come up with a single flaw.
Playing movies from:
SD-card with camera connectivity kit - Works!
Internal storage (CineXPlayers documents) - Works!
Over the network from my smb-share - Works!
Some 720p movies stutters, especially rar´ed. Have not tried 1080´s.
Rar´ed DVD iso over the network via smb works without stutter.
Subtitles works.

I updated one of my ATV2's to the daily build. I didn't notice any difference for good or for bad. The 1080 stuff plays the same (skips and buffers). ISO's played, but played poorly.
Unfortunatly, updating the database was a deal breaker for me as i want to keep database compatibility with my desktops/laptops, so I had to go back (and rebuild the DB). I'll wait until the next stable release before updating.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE XBMC on my ATV!
