Is there an speed increase in the speed it plays back when streaming! Mine at the moment can take an hour to load the film or tv show from iTunes. Where as if I stream over other software from my MacBook direct to my tv skipping apple tv it's almost instant. Makes me think of just selling my apple tv 2 and not bothering
New Apple TV
- Thread starter rp2000
- Start date
Is it simple enough to get it all on there
Its very simple, providing its still running IOS4.4 or lower. If you have recently updated it, then you will have to wait for the latest jailbreak (worth waiting).
I absolutely love my apple TV with XBMC, fantastic piece of kit.
so frustrating.. I can't get 720p working properly on my JB ATV2 wth XBMC.. MKVs, MP4s... all buffer and stutter..
I think it's probably my router to be honest which is frustrating in itself. Wireless N 300mb with a usb built in for the HDD to go straight into then wired to the ATV, no reason it shouldn't be silky but it's impossible to watch.
SD content is fine
when they JB the 3rd I'll give that a go.

The ATV is right next to the router and the HDD is next to the router with a USB port on it so there's abour 2 meters of cable involved.
I guess it could be something to do with the HDD but there's no stutter when it's plugged into the mac mini.

How do you have it shared? SMB?
A long time if ever. Existing methods don't work, and due to the simplicity of the design exploit opportunities are few and far between
I really don't know, is that samba? Thats the setting on the router. The router is **** though, its the cheapest ocuk had with USB, only £29.99 lol.

I can stream 720p content via wireless through an O2 router perfectly fine. Occasionally it buffers once a hour but that's it. It definitely must be your router.
picked up one of these yesterday, was going to get a ATV2 and jailbreak it but all sold out. Suprised they've got over here so quick, it usually takes a few months.
Main usage for now will be for AirPlay as my 5 year old Airport Express just kicked the bucket.
when/if the jailbreak comes the real fun will start and i'll get XBMC running to replace my Popcorn hour.
really impressed with the streaming performance at the moment, my MBP struggles to stream youtube at 480p but this streams the 1080p trailers straight off with no trouble.

I heard that even those these things have an A5 chip, they're single core?
Really disappointed if that's true. Saying that, the A5 must be some kind of improvement over the A4 in other ways to be able to playback 1080p smoothly - it can't all be graphics acceleration can it?
