The biggest problem I'm having with the current release is support for subtitles... on XMBC on my xbox the subtitles show just like they are supposed to... on osxbmc sometimes they overlay (2 rows on top of eachother) or then the font just gets huge... and it doesn't matter if I change the subtitlefont size... Looking forward to the new release!

There are many limitations, so running OSX on an AppleTV is not quite OSX. One, as Clayton said, without using the x264 and other Hardware acceleration, there the appletv is extremely underpowered, about 1.0Ghz sse2 only cpu, 256mb of ram. AppleTV's only can run 10.4. using semthex hacked kernel (not 10.5 which OSXMBC is directed) APPLETV IS ***NOT*** A GOOD PIECE OF HARDWARE FOR OSXBMC It has already been stated that there will be NO effort put towards getting this to run on the “APPLETV” (not MacTV).

I believe that without access to gpu on the AppleTV then HD playback would be a less than optimal exercise. It is underpowered. @ clayton

It would be great to start releasing some binaries for this given its the cheapest/most suitable product for this to run on. OK, so given you can run OSX on the MacTV

Of course, the price for xmbc is a lot better than Vista, and we really appreciate the hard work and result of it - unlike Vista. Thank you "team" for your continued dedication... a little extra time just makes the heart grow fonder, and the release that much better. Hilarious.
