ATV2 crash

yeah it's possible and maybe the ATV3 react better with files with problem

I can make a sample or if you like, I can send you the whole file via private link to both of you

what do you prefer ?

send me the movie file whole. tell me what part you have the problem and i will test when i get a chance.  i have both ATV 2,3

ok I'm sending you the link in MP

so I sent you the link

start the movie at something like 11 minutes 30 seconds. Let it play for a couple minutes. When they are starting to fly, this is where it crashes on my ATV2s when wired connected

thanks

I will let you know

the movie played fine for me no problems. 

maybe you should upgrade to ATV 3 ;)

to be honnest, I plan to upgrade to ATV3 today...tired of all this...

Maybe just one of them because my second ATV is on a 720p 

now my question. If I buy a ATV3 and start encoding my movies in 1080p, will it still play well on my ATV2 ?

Should I set the bitrate in plexconnect to a lower value ? Right now both of them are set to 40 Mbps but none of my 720p movies exceed 15 Mbps so it doesn't seem to be a problem. If I have a higher bitrate for 1080p movies, will ATV2 still be able to play them ?

Do you know what is the maximum bitrate ATV2 and 3 can play ? Not official Apple specs but from experience.

If I started an mp4 file on ATV2 that can direct play but bitrate is too high will PMS transcode it automatically for ATV2 or I will just shutter ?

Sorry, so many question :)

I don’t have any issues with my ATV2.
1975Jamie, you said you also had an ATV2, did you try the file with that?

no problem on my ATV 2

last test I could think of is to try with a different switch...

nop, just tried it, same crash

I'm going to Apple store right now, enough of this ! Even if it's probably the file, I bought a new tv and I would like to have 1080p support...

And sell your ATV 2 for 200.00 bucks :slight_smile:

ahahah yes that is my plan !

thank you ebay !

so, been playing with my ATV3 for an hour or so. As expected, the movie doesn't crash anymore. I tried a 3d imax movie and it runs way smoother without buffering !
