You're probably better off returning it if you want something that runs XBMC. It may never run on that box.

Yeah, what Dan1son said. I was implying it's more of an if than a when.
If you want XBMC, look for a different rig....

If you want an appletv you'll need:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB189L...TA4Mjc0MzM
and if you want to do HD on it you'll need:
http://www.logicsupply.com/products/bcm970015
or
http://www.logicsupply.com/products/bcm970012
I think the 70015 is recommended now

Hi ,
I'm no developper but porting something such as XBMC on the ARM apple TV could take years IMO ...
You'd better get a beagle or pandaboard or even the Smarttop from genesiUSA.
Not as cheap as appleTV though..

Nope, but it will do a lot of the same things. What I mostly need is to be able to access a network share and play all formats from there.

Really? I may be mistaken and things may have changed since last time I looked at this, but whilst you can jailbreak the new atv now, there is very few apps for it and there was no media apps when i last checked.

remember, is't NOT a standalone-client, it's only a streaming backend for the plex media server (which is doing all the hard work)

And hopefully we will have added transcoding to our webserver by eden so stuff like this could be possible, even though it makes more sense if you have a daemon that shares the data than xbmc doing it

Would be nice if plugins could be supported as well.

well, actually I was hoping for an XBMC standalone client that could do at least 720p from simple NFS/SMB 
but we'll take everything you throw at us and happily chew on it
