I'm running the XMBC Atlantis beta 2 (installed via the XBMC/Boxee launcher). It works well, except if I start playing some MP3s and then turn my TV off (I have an amp/speakers connected to the analog audio output), the AppleTV seems to crash.
I've recreated this about 4 times in a row - the AppleTV appears to do one of two things:
1) reboot
2) more commonly there will be a 1-second silence before the music resumes, however when I turn the TV back on I get a blank screen. Nothing I do will bring the screen back - not even a 'sudo reboot' via ssh. I have to physically unplug the AppleTV to bring it back to life.
This does not happen in Boxee, only XBMC. I've long suspected the AppleTV has some kind of awareness of whether or not my TV (hooked up via HDMI) is turned on or not, as sometimes it seems to take a few seconds for the display to appear after turning my TV on. Perhaps this is causing some issue with XBMC?
