Apple TV 2 - streaming videos slowly on HD TV

Hi Guys,
I have been steaming a lot of videos from my iTunes library to my Apple TV 2 without any problems, everything worked just fine untill a week ago. I've noticed it takes 2 or 3 minutes to load before the movie even starts and sometimes it just doesnt work, also some scenes shock as like its too heavy. However I always use AirVideo to convert my files to M4V and always worked fine.
Does anybody else knows this problem? and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

This is not possible.

  • Apple TV not streaming video

    So suddenly one day after working fine for months, my AppleTV (2nd gen) won't stream home movies or tv shows from my Tunes library. Music playlists play fine but when it comes to video I just get the timer which then goes back to the start screen.
    I've got cable broadband and run the airplay from my iMac 27" i5. All software is up-to-date.
    I'm curious as to why it will run music but not video.

    Thanks Diesel, I also reset all settings on the ATV2 and everything is working again.

  • Apple tv 2 streams very slowly from my macbook when on BT home hub router...

    I have had the ATV2 for about a year and a half. On the previous Virgin internet and going via a Linksys business router we had no problems. Since we moved to BT, and were given Infinity with the latest modem/router, the streaming of films from the macbook pro to the ATV2 is too slow to watch the film in real time. It stops to buffer every 10 minutes or so, but each time for at least 2-3 minutes.
    The internet itself works very quickly, so it's just the streaming through the router that's a problem. Are there any router setting I can change to help it?

    Keith and John, thanks for quick response.
    I never opted in to BT FON or BTOpenzone, and don't recall them ever appearing when I occasionally searched wireless networks.  BT WiFi popped up spontaneously just recently.  I think opting out may fix the problem, but I would prefer to have the choice rather than being effectively forced into this.  I have been using encrypted connection for several years at the full 54Mbps before this happened.  I have tried to change the channel too, but no difference.  I accept that the wireless speeds are file transfer rates and are not actually broadband speed - the broadband speed has not been affected, it's just the wireless speed that decreased.  It's very annoying when I've been using the same BT Home Hub and laptop for around four years and now this has happened.  It seems ironic that I have to connect via the public connection to my own Home Hub in order to get proper wireless speed.
    I assume that no-one has reported different wireless speeds between their "direct" wireless connection and BT WiFi (or its predecessors)?
    Is there any way to access the BT WiFi configuration in the hub?  (The traditional software doesn't seem to.)
    Are the later generation hubs likely to avoid this problem?
    Thanks

  • Apple TV disconnects when streaming video from iMac.

    I am using my Apple TV to stream video from my iMac to my TV using AirPlay display.  Every 5 minutes or so, it disconnects.  The video freezes on the TV but will continue playing on the iMac.  Then after a few seconds it disconnects completely and the apple TV will return to the menu screen and I then have to reconnect.  I also have noticed that it only disconnects when streaming video.  I'm able to use the Airplay to display what's on my computer screen and it works fine without disconnecting. I have no issues with the connectivity of my internet, there is always a full signal. I've been searching for answers on this and have found similar issues have happened to other users but none of the suggestions have worked so far.
    Very frustrated... please help!

    What is described above is a network issue.  Troubleshoot the network.

  • How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

    How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?  I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

    You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

  • Is there a way I can stream video from my 2012 AirMac to the Apple TV using airplay and at the same time stream the audio to an air speaker?

    Is there a way stream video from a 2012 MacBook Air to a TV using Apple TV and at the same time steam the audio to an air speaker. Also the same question but using an ipad

    You can try one thing. Follow these steps:
    1. On your Mac, turn on AirPlay Mirroring and connect it to the Apple TV, so audio and video will stream from the Apple TV.
    2. Turn off the sound of the TV where you have connected the Apple TV.
    3. Then, make sure that you have turned on the AirPlay speakers. Then, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the external speakers, so sound will stream from these external speakers.
    This should work correctly

  • How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

    How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

    Which Apple TV is it?
    There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

  • Windows 7 and Apple TV- can't stream video

    Hi:
    I can't stream video from itunes on a Windows 7 pc, to Apple TV (3rd generation). The ATV is only a week old but has been replaced with no luck. When I try to stream video, an error message pops up: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out".
    - the ATV is not the issue as it was replaced
    - I can stream audio and photos from itunes, but can't stream video (which is in the proper format for ATV)
    - I installed itunes on an old xp machine and video streaming works!
    - both the xp machine and the Win 7 machine are on the same network, so the router must be ok
    - all firmware and software is up to date and everything has been rebooted (several times)
    - the error happens no matter if it is a wireless or wired connection
    Since XP can successfully stream video and is on the same home network as Win 7 and we know that both the ATV and the router are working properly, it seems to me that there must be an issue in my Win 7 config. Does anyone have suggestions??? Thanks!

    This is what is happening:
    With an iTunes playlists of about 13,000 songs, one song will start playing (with a huge lag before the cover art appears); when the first song is finished, a second will start with the cover art for the first song still on screen. Eventually the screen goes to black, the time bar for the seconf song will pop up and after a few beats the art for both and first AND second song appear on screen together. A moment later, the audio cuts out, the screen goes to black againand eventially the AppleTV homescreen pops up. I've tried the fixes I've read about on this board; restarting everything (AppleTV, MacBook, etc), closing and reopening Home Sharing on the all the devices, doing a restore on the Apple TV, etc. Everything worked fine until I installed the update.

    Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

  • Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

    Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER
    you cannot stream youtube, rather ON COMPUTER video and movie files.
    free trial to test it

    for streaming elsewise, use VLC STREAMER
    One of the most handy APPS for entertainment ever made.

  • Recently lost the ability to Stream Video using homesharing from Macbook to apple tv (2nd Gen). Audio still streams normally.

    I use my Macbook to regularily download a video podcast overnight and then use Homesharing to stream it to my apple TV in the morning. Within the past couple weeks that function has stopped working properly. I get the spinning wheel from my Apple TV as it trys to stream or buffer the video file but it never loads. Audio files on the other hand still work perfectly fine.
    I've opened the TCP and UDP ports on my router and tried a different router thinking that was the problem to no avail.
    Any Suggestions?

    I believe what I'm reffering to is homesharing but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using the "Computers" app on the apple TV to stream Podcasts from my macbook Itunes Library.
    Homesharing or Airplay?
    Why do the audio files stream fine but the video files do not?
    The video files im referring too are TV shows, movies and podcasts all streamed from my macbooks itunes library.
