Hello all,
Newbie McNewberstein here. First let me start by saying that I got XBMC installed, connected, skinned, and working pretty much flawlessly through my wireless network. I'm very happy right now.
At this point, I have two questions:
1) After hacking my Western Digital TV Live Plus and Patriot Box Office, I was able to create thumbnails, fanart, moviesheets, etc. using ThumbGen. All of my movies are in separate folders, and all folders have "Movie Sheets" in them which display all pertinent movie info. Is there a way for these to display under XBMC? (See below)

2) When connecting to my wireless network, there is no problem. However, the ATV2 can't connect wired. My PS3, XBox 360, PBO, and WDTV have no probs connecting instantly, but no love on the ATV2. Not even sure where to start, since I've never had issues before. Some of my high bitrate movie files stutter over wireless, so interesting in testing out my "wired" network, which is backed by a 5GHz N connection.
My setup is: Movies on USB drive -> Computer -> Gateway -> Wireless N 2.4/5GHz Bridge / Access Point -> Gigabit switch -> All media boxes.
Because of the bridge/access point, all boxes connect as if wired.
Where should I begin?
Thanks!
