I open Xbmc eden from ATV2 home screen on jailbroken 5.1.1 and it all works (a little slowly) and then I scroll over to movies click into it and wait for about 5-7 seconds usually. Then I start scrolling for a movie but if I click left or right too many times in a row sometimes it reboots the whole ATV2! Also if I skip forward or backwards too many times it reboots all of sudden!
To me it seems very unstable and not really worth all the hype (but maybe worth the $100 I paid)... I would much rather build a $200-$300 htpc that can play 1080p and won't boot me all the time.
Anyone else think these aren't that stable or really touchy?

I bought an ATV2 aswell, was playing with it (5.1.1) and idd sometimes it's pretty slow and I do have random crashes.
Like the topic starter is there a way to make it more stable ?

I've never had that experience. And I've setup and used dozens of atv2s. Put up a log file, because it sounds like something is definitely wrong with your setup.

I turned on Logging on the OSD and the only crash came from playing Avatar 1080p but other than that I was scrolling fast now and no problems... For now... I didn't have time to ssh in to get the log file. But I can see that when just clicking through in the main menu and in movies/TV shows the cpu reads about 96-98%! That seems way way too high.
I went back from Aeon Nox 3.0 back to Confluence and confluence is snappier but it still is about 97% usage!
I will post my log later tonight.... But isn't my cpu still running too high?

97% is normal [tm] its mentioned multiple times in the whole forum why this is the case. Nothing to worry about.

Aeon Nox is a terribly unstable skin, and causes nothing but problems on atv2.
