ATV2 Jailbreak Streaming Issue

Hi,
Any help is appreciated!
I have an ATV2 with Firecore added and I connect via ethernet to my Cisco E3000 router. Next to the router is my WHS box.
I have a ticket open with Firecore but thought I'd ask here for help as well.
I have 300 plus movies in a folder called AppleTV on the WHS machine. AppleTV is setup to login to the SMB share with its own user ID and password (it has a profile on the WHS).
For a long time, this worked fine and I was able to stream wirelessly originally. Each movie file is between 700mb - 4gb generally depending upon source from DVD or Blu Ray and all are ripped using Handbrake set for AppleTV2. All play on my Imac just fine.
The issue is that originally wireless, and now Ethernet streaming does the same thing. I get 30-60 minutes in and get playback error while streaming. I've tried verifying packet sizes, redoing the movie files to smaller folders by genre and nothing has worked. Not all files do this but more and more as time goes on.
If I pull the file from WHS to my Imac, they play fine still.
The WHS is a Dual core with 4gb ram and 9TB storage. Works fantastic otherwise.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I even purchased a WDLive box to try and it seems to have the same issue..well almost. It never fails but the sound and picture get out of sync and the picture fast forwards to catch up.
Time to upgrade the router?

Anyone have any ideas?

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

Photo Stream issue. Photo Stream shows 263 photos when viewed on the iMac, 289 when viewed on the iPad and 327 when viewed on the iPhone. How can this be?

YouTube streaming issues

Is anyone else having YouTube streaming issues? I can only get about 5-10 seconds of video to play. Then if I try to restart the video it doesn't play at all. It's been this way for a couple of days now. It doesn't matter which wifi network I'm on either. I read the videos are going through an Apple proxy server so I wonder if the server is having issues since it used to work just fine.
I have a new 8GB 3g touch with about 1.5 GB of free space. All other Internet apps work fine.
-posted from my touch using Safari.

Restored and setup as a brand new iPad - same issue.
Likely the app itself,
Other apps such as twitch.tv / Air video HD etc stream without issue (even with the screen auto locking
I'll bring this up with Google.

IS07 Car Music Bluetooth Streaming Issue - Help Needed

I drive an Audi A1 which I have owned from new 11 months ago. I updated my iPhone 5 to the IS 7.0.4 around 1 month ago and since doing that I now have streaming issues in my car. The connection is via bluetooth, and the music is streamed from my iPhone, however since the update the music cuts out, skips and pauses............
I took the car to a service centre today where it was confirmed a known issue within the Audi network.
So how do we go around this? What do I need in order to stream music without the interference? I am pretty sure Apple wouldn't want to pay my car invoice for the added extras that I purchased in order for me to enjoy my music so surely there must be a way around this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This is not about law, it's about software/hardware. But since you're bringing it up, when Siri was introduced for the iPhone 4s, there was a man in a car using siri with his apple earplugs. I searched for law about this in my country (Netherlands) and it's not forbidden.
Now back to my issue: I want to use a headphone to listen to music and I want to make a call through bluetooth. Iphone doesn't remember I was listening to the music through the headphone. Issue, right?

ITunes & iRadio streaming issues, why?

Hello from Miami,
All this week I have been experianceing issues with either my iTunes Store giving me iTunes store errors windows along with the iRadio player acting up also. I have contacted apple support to clear caches along with anything else that needs clearing out. Well tonight the issues returned, I have to make an educated guess and say it's not at my end.
Has anyone else experianced similar issues, update me.
Thank you

I was the originator of my post the other night.. "iTunes & iRadio Streaming issues, Why?" posted on October 19th. It is that another person chimed in on my topic, paulie74".
I do not feel I was lectured, I was simply stating how you treated this other apple user, "paulie74" by stating the following. You said,
"Also ranting about quality control will not help your cause, I use both and have absolutely no issues as do millions of others."
Being positive and not being unhelpful is not what these forums are about, then you also mentioned,
"perhaps you should read the Terms of Use you agreed to", I know the terms of these forums and those of the Apple company, I am not new to Apple, and would respectfully suggest that you be more constructive regarding your comments and not expresses yourself in a way that upsets others.
And yes, I will forward all this onto Apple, for I trust they will do what's right as always.
Thank you,

Streaming issues MacBook Air -- Apple TV ?

Hello everybody.
Does or did anyone of you eperience the same streaming issue with an macbook air mid 12 and an apple tv3?
Only streaming from this device, any other will work proper (such as iPhone4 , iPad 2, etc.).
The issue is:
- streaming aborted
- after 30-45 mins of video streaming - video only
- apple tv not reachable
- apple tv has no internet connection / content, etc
- macbook gets very hot in the top left corner (wifi module?)
- no airplay, mirroring etc. works any more with the mentioned device
- only restar of apple tv helps
Both devices are connected via the same WIFI/router. Network type (5GHz or what ever) is unknown due to the fact that I've forgotten my router password. I thought this is where I am probably able to check some things... (I am soving my password stuff right now with my provider).
so...any ideas?
forum search and google-it did not work (for me). open to any suggestions.
many thanks in advance :-)

Hey mathezmichal,
Congratulations on the purchase of your Apple TV. The resources below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having AirPlay, specifically streaming video from the MacBook Air. Since YouTube is one of the channels on the Apple TV, I would suggest accessing the videos directly for that particular service.

TS3623 ATV3 massive streaming issues?

Hello,
For 4 days, we have been experiencing massive streaming issues with downloading content from itunes to ATV but also to other devices such as iphone, ipad and PC. Not only media content downloads present issues but also app updates. My full home set up has been checked and tested. Downlod speeds are in excess of 15mbps.
We are located in Bavaria, south Germany.
Is apple facing serious server problems as in the summer 2012? Or is it a software update problem? Is there an ETA for a fix?
Thanks & Kind regards,
Tim

NHL gamecenter streaming issues

I bought a new ATV2 last week and updated to the latest sotware. The main selling point for me was NHL Gamecenter live as I had grown tired of watching games on my laptop. Gamecenter live however is unbearable to watch. It stops to buffer every 3-5 minutes and often will buffer for 5+ minutes just to go another 2 minutes. I can use Gamecenter on my laptop with no issues and it never needs to stop for buffering.
I thought it was my ATV2 setup but Itunes and Netflix movies stream with a breeze, never a hang up and a very short buffering time to get started. I have a 20MB download internet connection and I've never had buffering issues when using NHL Gamecenter on my Laptop. Another annoying thing it does is sometimes when watching a game that the NHL has put in their own "commercials" during time outs, it will often go back to the NHL game menu when the commercial break is over instead of going back to the game.
Anyone else having this issue with NHL Gamecenter? Maybe its an NHL issue since everything else on my Apple TV streams perfectly. I've had to go back to watching games on my Laptop because of it.

I've been having the same issue on both ATV2 and PS3. Believe it or not I have found one limited workaround. If they game you are trying to watch has a canadian team, use the canadian feed. Watch WASH vs. TOR and the TOR feed is working fine while washington feed is unwatchable. Ditto for WPG CAR game. Let me know if this holds true for anyone else.
Haven't had this hold true for me. I usually watch games after they are over--not live. Some will stream this way, others will not--most often the team I really WANT to watch will not! I was watching one game on the computer the other night and decided to try the ATV2 again after the first period and found it WAS finally available. The weird thing was that the steam was slightly different than the stream I was watching o the computer. The computer stream included all of the commercial breaks and period intermissions, the ATV2 stream did not--it just went immediately to the next action or next period. Are they somehow formatting a special feed for ATV2? Does this take time and is that why some of the games are not available for awhile after the live game is over? I'm grasping at straws here to understand how I can best use this device which is so far quite frustrating and mysterious.....

ATV2 - instantly stream from Macbook / 15+minutes from Win7

So I have read all the posts about the Apple TV and people having issues streaming HD content and how long it takes. I However do not have that problem. I have a Macbook that has 2.4ghz Core2Duo/4GB DDR3 and I use WiFi 2.4N to stream HD to my ATV2 and it works perfectly. I just built a Corei7 PC 3.4ghz/8GB RAM I have used WiFi&LAN and everything from loading my shared iTunes library to starting a movie literally takes over 15 minutes. So I'm wondering what needs to be done on my PC to enable the instant streaming and loading that I get from my macbook. I have tried forwarding the correct ports, disabling firewall and completely uninstalling Antivirus from Win7. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you considered interference on the network, are you able to try with an ethernet cable.

Netflix streaming issues

Hello everybody, I have changed the DSN on my apple TV to 8.8.8.8 and I am still having issues streaming Netflix shows. Here's what happens:
1) I chose the episode of Prison break that I want to watch
2) It takes 5-10 minutes of watching the circle of life or(death?) turn and turn and yes...turn before the episode begins.
3) Finally I'm about 4-8 seconds into the episode and getting super comfortable when all of the sudden, the episode just quits and puts me back into the netflix/prison break lobby.
4) After this happens, I restart the episode from the beginning and skip past the first 20 seconds of the episode. Fortunately this works 1/3 of the time!!!
I must say that I LOVE apple products and I will continue to be an apple lover, however, I am annoyed with the netflix aspect of the apple TV. I also dislike the photo streaming because that takes a bit too long, but I'm not concerned with that right now. Please let me know if you have found a solution to this.
Peace out.

I have found a solution to the apple tv / netflix problem. You will need to uplug the power cable and the hdmi from the back of the atv2 unit. Then locate a cinder block or large block of wood, saftey glasses and a 2-3 pound sledge hammer.......
I wish someone would find a solution to this problem of netflix pausing every two minutes. I want to throw the atv2 unit like a discus down our street sometimes. We are an all apple family and love, rant and rave about our mac book , imacs ,ipads and iphones. I think apple needs to try a little harder to help on this one!!!!

Pulseaudio streaming issues

Hello,
I've got a little problem with pulse and the network streaming feature, but haven't found any solutions yet.
I'm trying to stream audio from my Linux laptop to my Windows pc. That's working fine!
When playing music with vlc, everything works well. But when playing something else (for example youtube), the sound is massively stuttering!
I think that's an issue on the client side, when i'm playing both sources together (music over flc and an youtube video), the video is stuttering and the music does not.

KylaR10 I tried several issues to fix it, but looks like if you disable your airplay it will work properly. When I had first the problem and couldn't solve it, I hacked it my Apple TV and installed a jailbreak version. The same problem developed again. So I restored it to the latest OS that's out from Apple and the same problem developed. So I tried disabling the Air Play and haven't had a single problem since.

ATV2 problems streaming Netflix movies

Lately (even after February software update), hard-wired ATV2 starts/stops/starts every minute or so of first 15-30 minutes of streaming Netflix movies. Unable to stream at all during night of February 13. HELP!

I just purchesed an Apple TV unit about 3 weeks ago. about 12 days in, went to watch something on netflix and was informed that it could not access Netflix. I could look at my instant queue and search for films. When I would choose a film or TV show to watch it stated that it was unable to access Netflix at this time. I contacted Netflix and they said it was an Apple issue, I contacted Apple and they walked me through changing some settings (DNS) which didn't work so we restored those settings. They then had me unplug the apple TV from the wall outlet for one minute. After plugging it back in, everything worked fine. Now in the past 4 days I've had the same issue twice, and resolved the issue by unplugging the Apple TV. I hope that I don't have to keep doing this in the future.

Apple TV started having streaming issues with Netflix

Several days ago my Apple TV is no longer providing consistent streaming throught Netflix. Before that, I had great streaming through all content for many months.
Issues, configuration and some actions already taken:
Video quality starts suffering, then some pauses/buffering begins.
I have tried the same Netflix account, content and network to trace the issue and found out through my Macbook Air and iPad and the streaming is excellent.
My Apple TV is connected to my ISP through an Ethernet cable at 200 Mbps (tested @ Speedtest.net)
I already restarted several times, and restored once my Apple TV.
Software is updated since it became available.
Yesterday, I found a post which recommended to manually setup my DNS to 008.008.008.008 which I did and worked great at that time, but todays problems are back with that fixed DNS and with Auto setup.
I hove someone here can help me with some further advice, or perhaps Apple very soon releases a fix. Seems that the latest update improved Airplay consistency to deliver both video and audio and not only video, but might have broken Netflix streaming.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm having the exact same issue since the latest update. I thought it was my internet connection but it worked perfectly fine in my ipad and macbook air.
I also have 2 Apple TV's and the problem is in both of them. I really hope apple fixes this issue ASAP.
In the meantime, if you wanna watch your netflix content on your apple tv with good streaming and you have an iPad/iPhone with netflix on it. I recommend Airplay mirroring the iOS device and then opening netflix, it will airplay the video content and the iphone/ipad screen will function as a remote control with all the settings and stuff...its kinda cool...the only bad thing is that you can't turn off the iPad/iPhone screen or it will pause the movie.
i hope this works for you while apple fixes this issue.

AppleTV's streaming issues... are there limits ?

I had 2 appletv's (v2) connected to an iMac (3GHz intel cores i3 with 4 gb of memory) which in turn is hard wired into a linksys router which has an 8TB Buffalo NAS device on it which stores approx 2.5GB of media... mostly movies and TV shows... all was great, no network lag, no intermittent stop /starting... I then added two things at the weekend, another appletv (v2) and about 60gb of TV series I finished ripping from my DVD library (the quest to be 100% digital is nearing the end)... and a few hours later I appear to have latency issues.... the iMac will play anything... any appletv will pick up the library, load it and play music but when a movie or TV show is selected it appears unable to either get enough or buffer enough content to get it to play... I have rebooted eveything but nothing seems to be working...
So after all that does anyone know if there are limits to how much content one library can serve up to appletv's or a limit on the number of appletvs that one library can support... any ideas on how to fix this... appleTV's are streaming wirelessly...

The limit is 1,000,000
having all photos in a single library is reCommenced - multiple libraries gains nothing and makes management much more difficult
