[QUOTE="NewAppleMacGuy, post: 1133060, member: 61650"] Now that I have my home sharing problem fixed, one issue remains. Home movies shot in hd that I have made into 720p files take forever to buffer and play. It can take as much as 15 minutes just for a movie to start playing. Weird thing is, I can fast forward a good bit through the movie, but it won't let me play it in real time. HD movies on youtube start playing almost immediately. I can tell you that one typical home movie is about 20 minutes and is a quicktime about 1.2 gigs in size. Even when there's enough of the white load bar showing that would typically allow a video like this to start playing, it won't. From iMovie I tried both exporting as a large file (instead of hd) and also choosing the encoded setting that makes it specifically for Apple tv use. Both didn't stream or buffer any better. Ideas?
