XBMC on apple tv, now what ?

[Tainter]

Ok i have installed the xbmc software n my apple tv and now i use cyberduck to transfer my movies to the apple tv , works great , but is there an easier way , could i even stream the vidoes from my imac ? any help is appreciated on how to set this up

It's clunky, but you have to use the Sources menu item to navigate your network to the folder where your videos are.

ok i managed to stream from my public folder on my mac, so if i move a movie in there i can stream it , question is how do i get my movie folder to stream ? also under sources i have a lot of entries now and since there is no right click with an apple remote , how can i get rid of some of the entries or add them? thanks

You're reminding me of why I deleted XBMC from my ATV...

Does anybody know how to delete the source path on the apple tv if you do not have a mouse and are using only the apple remote ?

I did the same, it is too complex, too many settings....not "Apple-like"

Yeah I got rid of it too, it really defeated the reason to own the ATV, sure it plays avi's but so does my PS3 and better than XBMC did, they look a whole lot better, plus lets face it, H264 is the Future not xvid and Divx.
