Hello,
first off, I'm aware that XBMC for the Apple TV 2 is a very fresh port, and it's impressive how great it works already.
One thing I noticed when comparing the playback of .avi files on with my Playstation 3 with the the XBMC playback on the Apple TV 2 is that the image quality seems considerably worse. The same .avi files (xvid encoding) look much more blurry on the Apple TV than on the PS3, even though they don't exceed the maximum resolutions of either the Apple TV nor the PS3.
Could it be that the PS3 upscaler / image processor is that much better than the one used by the XBMC / Apple TV 2 combo? Or could it be my XBMC settings? I'm not aware of altering anything in the video settings (so it's all set to defaults) that could cause this issue.
Any hints?
