doesn't work flawless without a receiver to decode, i use the ATV2 in the bedroom, when i play 1080p movies i get lots of buffering, i'm assuming it's because of the downmix. kind of sux because i have a huge tv in the basement with my htpc, so 720p rips aren't going to cut it.

not certain what i'm going to do yet about all this, if i can't play 1080p it's kind of useless for me. i'm sure i'll figure something out

no, i'm not certain what that would do anyways, i just think the atv2 can't handle 1080p and downmixing audio

well, it works over FTP directly connected to router my main HTPC is connected to, smb still gives buffering. i'm using a powerline adapter, the first one belkin released, so i will try a newer model this weekend, i know they've made improvements in the tech.

ok, after making my smb shares anonymous, i no longer have the buffering problem now, why is it so hard to turn on anonymous sharing in windows, oh well it works now. ok, not hard, but not apparent

not sure how you would do it either, you have have to search for your NAS and anonymous smb
