I have just installed the latest BOXee on my Apply TV (latest revision).
I have my movies on 2 DROBOS which are connected via DROBOSHARE and the Apple TV is wireless (n) connected to my LAN.

I indexed all my movies without any problem - I left Boxee running for a couple of hours to complete the indexing etc.

For the first time yesterday I watched a movie via my Apple TV.

Everything was great except that there was a lot of pauses while the movie was cached - sometimes it would run for 15 minutes and at other times just a few minutes (or even less) without buffering.

On a few occasions I got the spinning petals for several minute before the "loading movie" message was shown.

Clearly neither of these things was good and I look forward to a fix for them.
Oh yes one more thing I have one crash with a STATUS 4 error - I was trying to move to another movie while the first one was still playing.

However overall this looks to be a product with great potential - great job guys.

Thank you.
