Hi all,
Bit of an odd one, I've got my menus perfect (running at 1280x720 [Full Screen]), but if I set video playback (Settings\Video\Player\Resolution) to "Best Availible" then playback is unwatchable.
If I set it to 480p 16:9 (or just 16:9) what little I can see of the small windowed screen that is off the bottom of the screen looks good, but again I cannot watch it.
Oh and upscaling is disabled.
How have you guys got yours setup, as as far as I know an apple tv is an apple tv and other than the HD theres no difference is there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ta...

For now, don't change the video player's resolution or the slideshow resolution (leave it in Auto). Changing the resolution causes issues, like you noticed. It has been removed from the UI for the next release.

any update on this or is it a random issue, but i still get choppy playback when i am "full screen" moode. i have tried .img, .vob, .avi files.. also differnt codecs, but when i am in full screen mode my playback i sooooo slow. if i choose a resolution that is only using a portion of my diplay the play back is smooth.

I am also having the same problem with my xbmc playback in my ATV. Also, the audio is not in-sync with the video.
However, when I played the videos using the "movies" menu in ATV, its flawless.
What is causing this?

Sync isn't too bad to fix - when playing go into the audio menu then look for th eone marked delay - play with this and it should be fine.

Going to try you idea with the audio sync. Would be interseted to figuring out why some ppls ATV is playing flawlessly and ours are having this problem.
Did you guys create your patchstick with what was provided by these guys or other like old ATV4Windows ?
Did you already have ssh loaded and just ran the script through ssh?

ok seems as if when i am watching a video and u change the Interlaced option to anything besides "none" my video and audio syncs up and starts to run smooth. anyone know what the interlaced options like "weave interlace", "bob", etc. means. it seem to make it work but would like to have an idea about why
