+---- Thread: ATV2 and XBMC bufferring (/showthread.php?tid=93514)
- Hybred - 2011-08-30 21:23
My ATV2 buffers on very high quality movies fairly often on a Wireless N connection. Switching to wired soon, hopefully it'll fix it. I also have a PS3 Media Server setup as well that has zero issues with buffering. Just the occasional hiccup. Swapping to uPnP on the ATV2 through the PS3MS didn't help a ton, either.

I need help!
I have jailbreaked my ATV2 4.2 with seasonpass and installed XBMC with NitoTV.
I have my files on a Ready nas Duo NAS with a 2TB new HDD in it.
I have a Netgear router with Gbit-ports and I have wired ALL the way. From NAS-router-ATV2.
When I play regular .avi it runs smoothly but .mkv files just buffer and studder like crazy, cant watch it
Can anyone give me some tips?
(Before I had an PS3 and streamed on the same way with PMS and then .mkv runned very smooth.)
Thanks for help!!

Hello,
I'm suffering buffering issue when movie is >1Gb.
My system:
-AppleTV2 (seasonpass)
-XBMC Built on Sep 16 2011
-Nito
-SMB server win7-64bit
I tried
[1]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services ->LanmanServer ->Parameters
Create a DWORD entry SMB2. Value will default to 0 which is correct.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services ->LanmanServer ->Parameters
Change the entry 'Size' from 1 to 3.
[2]
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
[3]
guisettings.xml

Anything else I can try ?

You can try making sure the files are in the correct format, and for the love of gods, post logs.

Below the avi info.
For the xbmc log please refer to: http://pastebin.com/6PehFD7J
Please note that if I play that avi on a win7-latop connected via wifi on same smb server, it play just fine without any interruption. So the avi is not corrupted!
Thx.

XBMC can't pull the data quickly enough.
Are you using wireless? If so the signal might be getting interference or is weak where the ATV is.

The problem is. ATV2 is not able to hardware decode xvide mpeg4 (only h.264 is hardware decoded). Your file is something like 720p (with cut off black bars). The ATV2 CPU has not enough power for decoding this in software.
Xvid works on SD resolutions. Thats your problem. Use H.264 encoded videos if they are bigger then SD...

Like many others, I'm having difficulty and am wondering if there's some solution I haven't tried. Most seem to be focused on the Windows 7 aspect of it, but I can stream without difficulty to my macbook pro, just not the ATV2.
The files are H.264 and I'm connected with gigabit ethernet, yet on the apple TV my videos are buffering every 10-15 seconds. I've also tried editing the registry in windows to no success to optimize settings for file sharing. Running out of ideas here and was hoping someone could steer me towards a working solution.

Without details on what build of XBMC and iOS you're running there's not much anyone can do to help.

I have weird experience last month so i'm going to share it with you may be it helps some one !
my setup is atv2 xbmc HDMI > Pioneer LX83 HDMI > speaker + screen
so in my xbmc audio settings
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver : yes
DTS Capable Receiver : yes
last month my AV Receiver had a problem so i sent it for repair and i changed my setup to :
atv2 xbmc HDMI > Samsung lcd HDMI
and as my samsung did not support dts i changed my audio settings to :
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver : no
DTS Capable Receiver : no
for 2 weeks i did not watch any mkv 720p movies so i had no problem !
when i get my AV Receiver back I connected it as it was before then the mkv 720p files start to buffer !
i checked every thing and could not find the problem !then suddenly when i was going through all the settings in xbmc i saw the audio and i return them to my default config
and voila every thing goes smooth again with no buffer problem !!!!
