I haven't had any issues so far except one time I got some odd stuttering video, but stopping and starting fixed that and it didn't happen again. I'll keep trying to make it crash.

I think the moral of the story is the "crash after idle" isn't the only issue. I can be watching a show successfully, then moving directly to another show (or movie) and it will crash. So the 15 minute crash may be unrelated to the idle although crashing after being idle for hours at a time is nearly guaranteed.

But still a little unstable.....

So could you install http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/pre-release/...os-arm.deb (which is beta2) and confirm that the issues are not present in there? (this is to all people experiencing the problems here!)

- Subtitles in Gotham with ATV2 practically just don't work anymore, it takes too long to load the Subtitle list, and when you choose the Subtitle you like...*bang* it reboots!
- I sorely miss the "Automatic download first sync'ed subtitle", which just worked in the background when you started the Video. Now it is confusing and it requires repetitive and annoying actions every time :(
- The Unstability presents itself most often, as mentioned, when downloading Subtitles, and just when starting any Video after a long time being idle. Sometimes it even crash by itself during the night when idle.
- By the way, the Gotham 13.0.1 update, released the other night, seems to have improved the situation, especially when starting videos! :D But still a little unstable.....
PS: I use the lightweight and beautiful Amber Skin ;)
Seems like a lot of people are experiencing the same problems here :)

Some HD, some SD, some with subtitles, some with different types of audio tracks. I've paused one video for half an hour while on the phone and resumed it without issue. I've let XBMC idle between some videos for about half an hour as well. So far I haven't had any crashes, stutters, or hickups. I haven't had to exit XBMC or restart anything. If anything, this is the responsive and stable that I've seen XBMC behave on the ATV2.
I'm connected directly to a TV with no special audio equipment. All videos have been streaming over SMB from a local file server.
*shrug*

One, where people who have left their xbmc running overnight get a crash to frontrow when trying to play a video the next day. Two, where people leave their xbmc running overnight and find it back to frontrow in the morning. Maybe those two are not related problems.

The strange thing is that I've stopped getting crash logs in /var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Retired
