Hello! Been seraching around abit on the forum, but didn´t quite find an answer to this problem.
I just got my Apple TV today. Thought that would be a good upgrade from the ol Xbox, bu so far I was really wrong...having the same problems I was having on the xbox. I share media from my Windows XP computer. Using Windows SMB or ccxstream which I used with my Xbox. Starting XBMC on ATV is fast, but when I go into my SMB or ccxstream server it gets really slow...takes about 5 min to open a folder and then about 5 or more minutes just to open a file. It even freezes sometimes...well i donno...I waited about 30 min for a movie to open before I turned my ATV off...There has to be something I´m doin wrong. The files I´m opening are normal xvid tv shows or movies. Anyone got any tips for me...any other ways I should share my files to the Apple TV? Could anything on the windows computer contribute to this? I really hope I can find an answer to this...and didn´t just waste alot of money for something I cannot use.
Thank you for any help you guys can give me :-)
