After more reading in the ios section of the XBMC forums I read about how someone had rejailbroke their ATV2 and got all of their streaming problems solved. So I began the futile process of doing that. I used Tiny Umbrella to save my ssh's in case I needed to role back. I then ended up using the new untethered version of Seasonpass from Firecore that upgraded me to ios 4.3. Nightly version of XBMC has no Dolby Digital on this version and even in analog mode I had audio problems, which is what the wiki says is the current status of it. So I went down to 4.2.1 and while standard def content played, 720p was still buffering.
I then began looking around for programs beside XBMC. Plex on the Apple TV2 looks very promising, but it requires a computer to be running a server for it and I don't want to have to dedicate one when I already have a NAS to store my media. I have contacted Firecore and gotten back quick replies on their media player. They are expecting SAMBA support and improved hd playback with an update within the week. I'm planning on trying it out as soon as that is available.
