Hello,
I get constant buffering on playing mkv files..
I´ve done the following:
Update to the latest nightly build (done).
Use a wired network connection (done)).
Configure Audio Output in XBMC > System > Settings > System to use Optical/Coax, even if you are using HDMI. If this fixes your buffering issue, please let us know on the forums. (done)
Set to 16-bit audio, Apple TV > Settings > Audio & Video > Audio Output and set it to "16 bit". (done)
Turn off thumbnails, XBMC > Settings > Video > File and deselect 'generate thumbnails'. (done)
Disable playback sync completely, XBMC > Settings > Video > Playback > turn off "Sync playback to display". (done)
What can I do more?
Thanks...

Are you using SMB, NFS, FTP, ect? If you are using SMB then I would highly recommend trying something else such as FTP or NFS.

First thing you will need will be something to act like a server for NFS on your current operating system. I am using HaneWin with windows 7 and like it so far. Once you get the server side of it setup then all you have to is re-scrape your movies with NFS. The same thing will apply to anything you choose to use. If you do a search on these forums or Google I am sure you can find some guides to help setup what ever you choose.

I find how to setup an afp server.. (using zeroconf browser)..
It seems better... 95% of the time is working.
The problem is that after I leave xbmc the systems looses the reference to the video source I just added... What is the problem? I think the file source.xml should have changed but it has not changed... Can someone please help?
Thanks.

Check the permissions of your userdata folder. Might be that XBMC has no rights to write to that file.
chown -R mobile:mobile /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata

Appletv 2 is working.
Copying the sources.xml to my old appletv (white) xbmc could not connect to remote share.
The mount is afp://etc.....
What could be the problem in the older atv?
Also the latest night build keeps crashing in the older appletv. Any reason for this? I have to install dharma.

The ATV1s OS is based on 10.4 OS X, the ATV2 OS is an iOS version, so they both do not have that much in common. So you cant use the deb files for ATV2 on your ATV1. The ATV1 should play 720p smooth, for 1080p playback you need a CrystalHD card.
