Hi everyone, this is my first post so please bear with me.
I have a series 1 apple tv that has been patched with the latest version of xbmc. I'm currently running Eden beta 3. The ATV is connected via ethernet over power to an iMac running OSX lion. Shares with XBMC are via the AFP protocol. At the appletv end the ethernet over power connection, the ethernet runs into a switch. The appletv, a DVD player, PS3 and a tivo are all connected to the switch.
basically what keeps happening is that a movie or tv show (streaming from the iMac) with play for a while (anywhere from 15 minutes to and hour) and then it freezes and xbmc quits with status 11.
Prior to installing lion, I used smb sharing with Dhama and never had a problem and that was with old 85mbps home plugs providing the ethernet over power connection.
I have tried: Connecting via wireless n and this worked better but still has the same issue, just less frequently. Thinking it was a buffering issue i bought new 500mbps ethernet over power plugs and they work better too - I can watch an entire 1 hour tv episode but it still will quit during a movie. I have also changed ethernet cables around but to no effect.
I have looked at some other posts on here but found nothing exactly the same as my problem so I hope I am posting in the right spot.
I have seen requests for log files and I have copied mine off the ATV but I'm not sure how to share them with everyone??
Hope you guys can help me
Cheers
