Hi there,
I've had my ATV2 for a few months now, jailbroke it right away and installed XBMC. It's been having problems from the start. But first off..
Platform: Darwin iOS (11.0.0 AppleTV2,1, Version 5.0.1 (Build 9A406a)
Install method: apt-get
[Expired] Log file: http://pastebin.com/iQhFJ1Ng (Login credentials replaced)
I use SMB for filesharing on my W7 Pro server (\\ZENITHSERVER from the log). I also use SMB to host the thumbnails and plugin data, I use XBMC on my PC and HTPC so I like to keep things completely in sync. Works fine on those two systems.
The ATV however doesn't want to work with SMB unless I reboot my server, then it'll work for a few hours. I don't want to have to restart my entire server for it to work, so I wrote a task to restart the Workstation and Computer Browser services every 3-hours. That should basically only restart the SMB service. However that doesn't work consistently.
When I browse for SMB sources it does find my computer and server (however that seems to vary quite a lot). Right now, when I want to browse my server for source I get "Operation timed out".
This renders my ATV2 useless, since it relies on SMB to access pretty much everything it needs. I can't quite grasp why it work sometimes, and why it doesn't most of the time. I already tried using the IP rather than the NetBIOS name.

Update 20-5-2012: Still works to this day
