[AppleTV2] All videos stream slow on ATV2?

Paraffin: In that case, definitely provide a pastebin.com of your xbmc.log. Turn on debugging. Then exit XBMC. Relaunch XBMC so a fresh xbmc.log can be created. Then go and run the movie you have trouble with.

Then use FTP or WinSCP to grab your xbmc.log file and paste to pastebin.com for us to take a look at what's happening. Also, if you are serious about getting to the bottom of this, provide a statement as to what you are experiencing. All this is so we're not taking a stab in the dark or helping you guys blindly.

Enable us to help you with your problem. Cuz XBMC is running mighty well for me.

OK I will do all of that and should have time on Friday..

Should I start a new thread of my own with the following details

Media Info of the MKV
XBMC.log
Network Setup
Server Setup

Is there anything else I need to provide?

Is debug logging turned on in the menu of XBMC or should I search the forums for the cli commands?

Yeah, probably best to create your own thread. Because we don't know if your problem is the same as the OP.

You can turn on debugging from within XBMC system settings. Also let us know which build/build date of XBMC you are running. Thanks.

How do I get the build number?

At the home screen, highlight system and press right. From the slideout menu, choose system info. You'll see on the lower right of the summary page, the XBMC version and compiled date.

I have problems like you, then I dont play .Avi or wmv any more

I just play Mkv, it fine

Hey guys, I fixed mine by turning "activate teletext" off and set allowed error in aspect ratio to 20%

These are found in xbmc, system, video, playback

Most streaming services use divx encoding which is not supported in the hardware decoder on atv2. So 720p divx will not work stutterfree on atv2 (though SD resolution should work even when using divx/xvid). Try using h.264 content - this gets hardware decoded up to 1080p. Read the FAQ about this...
