(SOLVED) Playback issues (Wifi problems)
#1
Okay, so I've been using my ATV for awhile with XBMC on it. Did a bunch of upgrades including the one to Eden and got hit with a ton of playback issues. Every way I try connecting to my GoFlex Home has been hitting me with problems. This used to fly without any problems. I figured it was an Eden issue so I uninstalled, removed all preferences manually and then reinstall 10.0-9 build. Nope, turns out something is stopping any and all connections. I tried FTP, UPnP & Windows Share to my GoFlex Home and for good measure, I tried a Windows Share over to my desktop (which also failed).

With FTP connections, the video can't even start. Just says Failed playback, gives this error (curl 28):

With the UPnP & Windows Share connections (regardless of whether to the GoFlex or my desktop), the video tries to start but crashes roughly five seconds in every time. Here's the log featuring both of those:

This happened on Eden & Dharma. The logs are from Dharma, I will gladly upgrade to Eden and repost newer logs if preferred although the issues are exactly the same regardless of version. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Here's a log of my preferred method of playback failing from Eden (FTP from GoFlex):

EDIT #2: Okay, so I wired an ethernet to it and figured this is a wifi problem! It's maddening that nothing works over wifi especially since I can't permanently wire a connection to this box. For now, I'll have to rig this up but any clues as to the drastic drop in appletv wifi capabilities? This literally changed over night. Never had an issue prior.

EDIT #3: Google'd apple tv wifi slowness and got a hit that it is impacted by heat. Moved it off of my cable box and it worked perfectly... Embarrassing!
