Hi guys, got two atv2s one running cydia and one I mess around with using the nightlies. Both are otherwise setup exactly the same in every way via the menus and advancedsetting.XML etc.
Both running via Mysql database and shared thumbs etc, movies on a qnap nas via smb.
Both units are cooked with 4.3 via season pass and the firecore atvflash.
Everything that can be turned off is, ie rss feeds.
The cydia box runs 99.9% of my 1080p perfectly with super smooth flawless playback. Why 99.9 well the odd file just crashes xbmc at the start but thats no important here.
The only issue I ever have the this box is the normal out of memory crashes.
My nighties box now running the dec 10 has issues playing a fair few 1080p files with fairly regular video slowdown for some seconds say every 5 minutes, sound is not affected. Never get the buffering icon on screen and movie will play without crashing just not smoothly. Really bugging me now.
Some 720p movies also slowdown a bit. This never happened with cydia.
Both boxes are wired, all files are scene mkv no home brew etc.
Overall I would say the nighties box is a bit slower all round with regards to gui and shows less free memory in sys info at around 120mb free, the cydia box normally shows around 160mb free?
Sorry for the lack of files in the post can add for both boxes if required.
Don't flame me please, long term user but short on time to contribute much, normally work everything out myself.
Spent the last month migrating 12tb library from pc to nas and rebuilding from scratch so a little burnt out right now.
Thanks,
Mac
