Hello
I am a long time XBMC user... My primary setup is on an Asrock machine right now and works like a champ... I control everything on it with my Linux machine and move movies over to it via ssh and ethernet... Very smooth and very easy to use...
I have recently decided to jump on board with the new ATV2...
I jailbroke with green poison and got everything installed... Was pretty simple, bravo to the green poison guys...
So I now have my ATV2 hooked up to a WNR3500l Netgear router... It connects via wireless or ethernet... And the router will share a hard drive... I like my XBMC machine to be portable so the kids can watch movies when we travel, so the WNR3500l is kinda perfect... It shares NTFS perfect...
Now onto my issue... I am able to watch all my MKV files with no issues... Even the surround sound system works perfect and the picture is amazing (The XBMC guys did a great job)... But when I try to watch an avi (more specifically an HD avi) the image and audio is choppy... The size of the file does not seem to matter... I guess its a codex issue?
I have done some research and I have not been able to identify if there is a solution... It sounds like standard avi files work great, but all of mine are the HD XVID avi type... So I have nothing to compair it to...
Is their a fix for this or is this still being worked on?
Thanks
Shiloh
