What stuff can an Apple TV2 NOT play?
#1
so, what can an ATV2 not play?

I'm talking about here specifically 720p blueray rips. i'm not sure if we're allowed to link but for example:
breaking bad s02e01 blueray x264 720p rips.

if i get an ATV2, my plan is too hook it up via ethernet using powerline adaptors OR maybe wifi (it works on my MBP most of the time).


thoughts/suggestions please? bugs and slowness really piss me off but the ATV2 looks like the perfect price-value compromise for 720p playback... if what u guys say are true about its capabilities to churn out any 720p goodies.

If you 'encode your blurays' to mkv x264, you will not have any issues with the ATV2. I have plenty of 1080p content that plays beautifully. You will however have a terrible time with any 'avi' file that is high def. Standard def, such as Breaking_Bad_s02e01_DVDRip_XViD.avi will work fine and dandy.

Ethernet power line adapters can be slower than wireless g. Be aware of network performance
