Yes, Thank you. I have been able to do this. But only by typing in the direct path as stated above via smb. You can not use the browser and browse to the source if you dont know the exact path as you can with an NTFS Volume.

Also to make your video look better you will need to change your advancedsettings.xml file from 48 to 8 to make your video's look as good as they do from the APPLE TV Main Menu. The file is in /Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/ . If you do not change this your videos will look blocky. All thats in the file is <advancedsettings><skiploopfilter>48</skiploopfilter></advancedsettings> change the 48 to 8.

mkvinfo is a nice program for detailing the type of mkv video content you have. It's the video content that matters, not the container (mkv).
