so, i got plexbmc installed within xbmc within my appletv1.

&nbsp;

works great for cartoons (with the occassional skip) (currently set at 360p, 720kbps). trying to watch a movie, live action, 720p original and it's choking, skipping, buffering warnings, and some message about cache i can't quite read because it's getting cut off at the top.

&nbsp;

i don't think it's the server (mac mini shows almost no cpu usage), or the network (ethernet between the two). is there anything i can do to improve the performance of the appletv?

&nbsp;

thanks,

torch

You need Crystalbuntu and the CrystalHD x15 card to really make this setup work. &nbsp;[http://forum.stmlabs.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=4](http://forum.stmlabs.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=4)
