Hi,

- Apple TV 2 4.3(8F455)
- Windows Home Sever (based on Server 2003)

connections used:
- wireless
- wired

protocols:
- SMB = buffering every 5 seconds...
- FTP (Filezilla) = the same buffering problem

with FTP speed is about 350~900 KB/s
This is (350 x 8) / 1024 = 2,73 Mb/s Am I correct?

Still lowest 2,73 Mb/s shouldn't be the problem and certainly no reason that the movie needy every 5 a 10 seconds to buffer?


So video_ts and 720p, 1080p .mkv files cannot be played without the buffering problem.


Any idea?
I have just installed latest night build from 29-10-2011: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin...mirrorlist

It seems that XBMC is stable on Apple TV 2 but this problem makes it unpossible to use XBMC


Pictures and Music is working fine.

My other HTPC with Windows Media Center (Windows 7) can play those movies (on WHS) fine.

Buffering tends to be more of a problem with video format than bandwidth.

If you run h264 at huge bitrates you will have problems getting the data there quick enough.

If you run interleaved mpeg2 at SD or higher you can have problems because the atv2 runs out of grunt to decode in software.

Post a mediainfo for the problem files.

Hi,

I had similar problems. It then worked fine with the nightly build from 18th. You can find more in this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=113419&page=2
