nas? is that like an equipment where u install internal hdd into it and run through network?

correct. link buffalo link station

Yeah i searched a bit in mac forums that ATV2 plays 1080p files just fine but it always output it at 720p max.

oh cool thanks!

that's the limitation of ATV2, only output at 720px

i mean for example buffalo link staton

That if you play it with apple tv sytem, not with xbmc.
XBMC will play it as 1080.
But my download movies file all stereo only sound. not dolby surround or digital.
Plus the movie is a compressed file.

Yes.
But there are other simple, cheaper solution.
Like WD MyBookLive. Already have 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, 4TB or 6TB or storage.
Simple, easy, low electric consumption, good operating system and cheap.

XBMC can play 4K file too but do you think that the output really 4K on your 1080p TV?

XBMC cant play 4k file on ATV2.
XBMC for ATV2 can playback most videos saved as high as 1080p.

But you are right Sir, although XBMC can play the 1080 file, it will scale it down to 720 for output it.
However the quality of scale down 1080 to 720 output is still better than 720.
You can try by playing a movie of 720 and 1080, and see the output different on screen.
YIFY usually provide 720 and 1080 movie file.
This is why I stop storing 720 movie and start having 1080 movie.
I have 2TB NAS, so from 680MB file to 1.2GB is still bearable to gain such quality.

Again, 1080 in non-DVD format (avi, mp4, mkv file) is compressed movie file and different from 1080p DVD format file in term of quality.

Anybody bored with yr Apple TV? Thinking of trying it out...

Does anyone know where can fix apple tv (Gen3). As my wifi is not working. staff from apple certified that my hardware got problem. Thanks.

u can go to midvalley. they have a service centre there

There was an Apple TV3 replacement programme for those with wifi connectivity problems. Just check to see if yr serial number is one of those affected and bring it in to the Apple Service Centre at MidValley.

Thanks guys... i send it to times square service centre. they told me cannot fix. have to change hardware. and cost the same as u buy a new one.. sad...

your atv3 doesnt come with warranty?

warranty over.. if not i won't be headache..

my ATV3 airplay is not stable. sometime can connect(detected by devices), sometime cannot(not detected by devices) and sometime disconnect halfway.
weird thing is my modem or wifi router is good as my streamings still continue.

Anyone experiencing similar case?

im using atv2. so far so smooth. try to use the latest firmware? maybe that helps?

Belz,

Have you checked the serial number of yr ATV3 against the list of affected units?
If your unit serial number is on the list, do try again and mention about the ATV3 Free Replacement Program.

Even if your warranty has expired, it does not matter as the free replacement program is for up to 2 years after yr date of purchase. Since ATV3 was only introduced in March 2012, your unit should still qualify.

I went to the Service Centre at Northpoint MidValley and they gave me a brand new replacement unit after leaving it there for a few days to let them check. Didnt even need to show a receipt. Of course had to alert them to the Replacement Program online as the person attending to you may not be aware of it.

Good luck!!

Its always on the latest firmwares. I always keep it updated.
Any other possibilities?
