SOLVED Slow initial playback from SMB share on NAS
#1
I'm having difficulties to stream videos from my NAS server to my Apple TV2 using SMB share.

I want to play a .mkv file from my NAS server and when I press play button on remote, it waits on working for about 2 minutes before the playback to start. I don't get any other haning issues when browsing the filesystem.

Also I tried the same stream from NAS server to my Mac and iPhone and they start momentarily without any problem. And also I can stream the same video to my Apple TV from my Mac's HDD using NFS share without any problem. And I installed ATV Flash in my Apple TV and tried streaming with samba share and there's also no problem in streaming from same NAS server.

So the problem seems there's an issue in SMB client in XBMC for AppleTV2. If you guys can take a look at this log file, I'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind guys, I solved it. There was some changed shares and apparently the device was searching them in that time.
