When XBMC was first ported to the AppleTV 2, I ran out and bought one immediately, jailbroke it, and was basking in XBMC goodness. The only issue I had was uncompressed bluray mkv's (most around 25-40 Gb with DTS audio) would not play. Then Apple did an update which gave access to mlb.tv, so I killed my jailbreak for that feature and have not yet re-jailbroken it.
So, a little more than half a year later, and closer to an official stable release, has this area improved at all? I am not looking to output 1080p, I understand the hardware limitation (and the TV I would connect this to is only 720p anyway) but the ability to play these would be a huge plus... I would rather avoid having to use Playon, Plex, TVersity, etc... to transcode these to the unit.
