Just so you know, you helped keep my marriage happy! The kids are now able to watch movies again and everyone is happy. Thank you!!! This patch worked. After i applied the commands I went ahead and rebooted my ATV, based on feedback from other users, and all is working well.

updatebegone is installed but had no effect on my appleTV2.
It was necessary to manually add loopback entries for the three addresses instead.
Also interesting to note is that more doesn't seem to work but less does. less confirmed that /etc/hosts was updated as intended.

Guys thank you for solving my problem. i tried numerous ways to get it going well and failed. i upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.3 and XBMC was shutting down while playing. i had issues with 720 MKVs and MP4 mainly. basically guys shutting down XBMC unexpectedly in the begging of a movie, or not playing at all, to serious buffering.
so this is what i did:
down graded to 4.2.1 and run (via ssh on a Mac):
"apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
and then:
"apt-get install com.nito.updatebegone"
and then:
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net" >> /etc/hosts
then just like JD2157 said:
If you can ssh into your atv2, run "ping mesu.apple.com" and if the IP is 127.0.0.1 in the response then the /etc/hosts file is fine.
good work guys. and thanks JD2157

XBMC shuts off while trying trying to play MP4 and MKVs.
all seems to work well, then few days later, xbmc shuts off and goes back to apple TV menu.
when i try to pay MP4 and MKVs (AVI does not shuts down xbmc).
i run this code:
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net" >> /etc/hosts
and
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install com.nito.updatebegone
when i ping it via Mac ssh "ping mesu.apple.com"
i get
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.244 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.201 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.283 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.170 ms
any idea what is the problem and how can i get MKVs and MP4 to play?
thanks.

I think you need to stay on 4.2.1 in order to be able to play MKVs.

Hi Dan,
i am running 4.2.1
it worked well with mkvs and mp4 for few days and yesterday it crashed.
avi play well. funny.
i tried to ftp and copy this:
Apple-TV:/ root# cat /etc/hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com
still does not work. i did the these commands:
# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install com.nito.updatebegone
and still crashes.
