Now I'm noticing that even 2 gig h264 mkvs (~45 min 720p TV shows) are unwatchable in SMB library mode. Files play for a couple minutes and then buffer every minute after that.
Maybe the ATV2 just lacks the memory to handle HD file streaming across a home network?
It would be strange if it were the ATV2. I have never had any buffering issues for 720p TV on either a wireless or a wired connected ATV2. Something is up with your network and these things are very hard to figure out. You have to narrow down the possibilities.
