Apple Movie Trailers Lite does work on ATV2, but for me, only in 480p. Otherwise it buffers like crazy. MY ATV2 is on wired Ethernet.

Hey Ajay, with regards to Swades Tv, a member Diego-Ch suggested to try replacing mms with rtsp:// to attempt it to work on aTV2. He has had some success with it. Are you able to try this or guide me to where the mms streams can be located and I am happy to test it out.

Cheers.

Mine does not look like this. Is there some setting I have to change? Mine has a list on the left and the jacket cover on the lower right? I really like the way yours looks. How can I change it?

Change it just like you would change views in any mode (Movies, music, etc).

When you are on the screen you described above, click the left arrow on the apple remote until the slide-out appears and change the view there.

tolik007, after you install the icefilms Addon, the very first time you launch it, it will prompt you to download 250 MB data..once you download it, you will start seeing the screen as shown in the covers, as you would see in Netflix

Just want to make sure that there is not something Im doing wrong. The NBC addon, TBS addons don't work. It will just crash and reboot. Icefilms works great.

And correct if Im wrong the HULU addon is dead? The real reason I added XBMC was to be able to play AVI's direct from the menu using SMB. And this works great! But then I started fooling around and see TV shows, and how well they are organized and also seem to be released right away.

What is the best addon then to watch new TV programs? I have an imac which is left on...but I would rather not have to run another server.

But XBMC is really something nice. Lots of questions....also, it is kind of pain to exit XBMX on the atv 2. Am i missing something?

On my Apple TV 2 with XBMC installed and the latest versions I can get only the following ADDONS to work, as of May 8, 2011

Icefilms - which is terrific
HGTV - which is good
Yahoo Music Videos - which is good

Nothing else works for ADDONS. Looks like the originators of the ADDONS have moved ahead to other playforms to use there talents on.

Personally I like to have alternatives to XBMC ADDONS. The alternatives include:

PlayOn - which works great to stream HULU to my Apple TV 2.
PLEX - which is a free server app and Apple TV 2 app, and has potentials like XBMC

****

I feel like an idiot. The plugins do mostly work. My XBMC was crashing on ATV 2 because I needed to install the NIGHTLY BUILD version on my Apple TV 2 (running 4.3 software). Now everything works mostly. Get the NIGHTLY BUILD here as a DEB file.

If you do not know how to install a DEB file (I taught myself in the last half hour), then please stay away from any attempt. There are loads of pitfalls. You have to learn SSH and with the PUTTY and WINSCP applications on windows platform. You also have to change the local HOSTS file on your APPLE TV 2.

i had the same problem, if you dont know how to install nightly build, an easier work around is to turn off hardware accleration in the system, video setting in xmbc. with this off i hv still been able to use icefilms app and play standard definition streams
