I am running 4.2.1 on an ATV 2 and have been for about a year. I used whatever stock version of XBMC was available back then, not a nightly. Things have worked absolutely great for a really long time, but suddenly in the last week or so I can no longer play anything. Whenever I load a video (doesn't matter size or quality) things buffer indefinitely. It also takes a long time to even load the video. Occasionally it will load and try and stutter its way through things.
I am connected through an SMB, nothing has changed with my router or anything. I did try connecting via an ethernet cable as well and things are still incredibly slow.
Any ideas?
Oh - and for the record when I am out of XBMC I can stream netflix just fine, so I don't think its the ATV.
And tested one more thing - running video plugins work perfectly fine through XBMC. So it seems to be some issue between my hard drive and the ATV2. Any ideas as to what could cause it to suddenly stop working? I can run the videos perfectly fine on my PC, so I don't think its the HD.
