ATV2 and XBMC bufferring

I'm guessing, but I think they are asking if we would just take the iOS files from a 4.3 device and move them onto another ATV2 (running 4.3+) and essentially run iOS 4.3 on that device.

I doubt this would work. It'd be a curious experiment.

it would be an epic failure

Exactly, if I use UPnP I can stream 1080p .mkvs on the ATV2 with no buffering.

Also, if I use XBMC on my laptop, I can stream the same 1080p .mkvs via SMB with no buffering.

Something is up with the SMB protocol on XBMC ATV2.

You have to make your own buffering settings or xmbc uses its default.

How can you tell if you have a low buffering or default setting?

If you can only reverse/fast forward 9 min or abouts. and you will freeze crash or get a buffering cache message.


To fix this you remove the cache to 0 which tells the ATV2 to load the entire CACHE.

This does increase memory usage. Long as your XBMC isn't full you should be fine.

Changing your region sources opens up more dns/bandwidth as well. a setting of 3 is best.

Tested on ATV2 Most sources like some of the other laggy sources now play no problem.

please let me know if you are experiencing the same benefits.

Create advancedsettings.xml if needed

putty command

apt-get install nano

Hi all!

infamouskiller i try set this settings in XBMC, restart it and all goes in the same way. All videos in 720p(mkv) on a Samba storage over WIFI are buffering all the time, impossible to see. Also i try to set some configuration in Windows that comment in page 22 (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=93514&page=22)


Also i try this:


Without mention the configurations that the iOS FAQ page names (Audio settings and thumbnails)

Videos in 480p play good, but in 720p(mkv) is really bad. YouTube in 720p on XBMC is really good, so it is not a network problem.

I just jailbreak my AppleTV2 with seas0nPass 5.1 and XBMC take 3(http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127369).

I have the same problem with FTP sources!

Apple-TV:~ root# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/disk0s1s1 681M 602M 73M 90% /
devfs 26K 26K 0 100% /dev
/dev/disk0s1s2 6.8G 524M 6.3G 8% /private/var

I think that is not a space problem.

If somebody can help me i'll appreciate it.
