Apple tv Gen 2 - ali2k1 - 2011-04-01 Hi guys quick question can the Gen 2 play 720p mkv from external drive. My broadbabd is quite limited and streaming is very bad. Thank you - mjhilton - 2011-04-02 Hi, I just got an ATV2 the other day, running iOS 4.3. Started with official build, and it struggled hard with anything HD. Last night updated it to the 3/26 nightly build. It now plays 720p h.264 movies, in both avi and mkv, beautifully smoothly. Not a chance of playing HD xvid/divx though, the hardware decoding is only for h.264. This is streaming from a WD MyBook Live NAS over ethernet. Going to try a 1080p later today to see how it handles it. - Stiffler - 2011-04-02 720p MKV's should work just fine. The ATV2 doesn't support external devices, in fact it doesn't do USB connectivity at all unless it's for tethering it to iTunes. - ali2k1 - 2011-04-02 Thank you for that, does the Gen 1 support USB harddrive? - bircoe - 2011-04-02 Yes, 30 seconds of reading on any page that describes/reviews the ATV1 would reveal that. |
