A question of airport

OK my last rambling post on this now. Here is a few mins of debugging, a skip occured at 9.52 not that you will be able to gather a lot I am guessing!

try with the file local to the atv. this will see if the problem is with your network setup.

Hi Davilla. Well it is some issue specifically with the Airport and the ATV. I put the drobo on my mac downstairs and connected to it via SMB and its perfect (infact its how I used to have it beofre the nightmare that was droboshare)

I have a good network gigabit throughout all on ethernet. I have never encountered an network error until this, I just wondered if I had managed to set it up wrong.

I wonder what the underflow and discontinuity means?

(mind you underflow warnings persist with the drobo on the mac downstairs and it runs perfect to my eyes)

underflow means a queue has run out of data.

discontinuity means a jump in playback.


if a single frame gets bonked and skipped, you would never see it unless you looked really close.

Ah OK.

Well I am out of ideas so have been forced to remove the drobo from the airport. This is a pain as droboshare was also a nightmare so i don't really have anywhere to put this drobo haha! (too noisy for living areas)

Incidentally it worked fine on the mini downstairs which was not connected via SMB just mounted on the desktop.

Anyone else have any ideas of how I can fix this? Is anyone using airport for file distribution?
