Sorry if I should have been able to find this somewhere, I searched and was unsuccessful.

Is it possible to display statistics such as number of dropped frames as an overlay while watching a video using xbmc for ATV?

Hi,

It's possible with some tweaking of the keymaps. I have put the following in my /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml

Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <joystick name="AppleRemote">
      <!-- Up            --> <button id="1">BigStepForward</button>
      <!-- Down          --> <button id="2">BigStepBack</button>
      <!-- Left          --> <button id="3">StepBack</button>
      <!-- Right         --> <button id="4">StepForward</button>
      <!-- Select        --> <button id="5">OSD</button>
      <!-- Menu          --> <button id="6">Stop</button>
      <!-- Select (long) --> <button id="7">CodecInfo</button>
      <!-- Menu (long)   --> <button id="8"></button>
      <!-- Right (long)  --> <button id="10">FastForward</button>
      <!-- Left (long)   --> <button id="11">Rewind</button>
      <!-- Play          --> <button id="12">Pause</button>
      <!-- Play (long)   --> <button id="13"></button>
    </joystick>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

The "CodecInfo" is what you're looking for, it'll show details about audio/video incl dropped frames. My setup shows it if I hold the middle button down. You can change this to another button if needed.
Credits go to the original poster of this keymap, didn't find him on search either. :p

This also enables the "big" seeking in 10min steps by using the up/down buttons on the remote.
