Hello guys,
after days of googling and trying to solve my Problem, i decided to ask the ones who could perhaps help me the most... you!
So here is my Problem:
I bought a MyGica ATV520 mainly to have my Movies and Series playable on my TV. Till now i Streamed the Movies with my PS3 but i wanted to have a bit more comfort and i like the XBMC sooo much.
The Box itself worked well but...! When i added Video Files from a smb Share (Movies are on my PC and the Folders are shared to the Network) that worked too. The Scraping was fast and the Navigation through the Menus was pretty fast and didnt lag at any time. (Pretty good Hardware in the ATV520).
But when i want to play a video it says "Working.."... for about 15 secs. Then in the most cases, the background, where the fanart is, gets black and on the button it says "Playing 00:00:00 - 1:43:00" for example but nothing happens.
Same happens when i want to playback the File from the Videos - Files menu and not from Movies Libary.
But the Same File on a SdCard or USB-Stick plays well. So there seems to be no Problem with the Codec or something. (its 700mb File).
My WiFi is well enough, because on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with XBMC installed, alle videos play instantly from the same smb share.
But i thought perhaps the Wifi controller of the Box is bad (even 7mb Pictures didnt show up through XBMC).
so i ordered a ATV1200 which has a better Wifi (extern antenna). First i checked the Wifi signal with my new box, it has 156mbts shown, should be overloaded for an 700mb file.
i started XBMC and added the Same movies to the Libary. Wanted to start the same Movie but had the exactly same problem.
so now i wanted to know it further and added a Network App from where i can acces Network Shares. With that app i navigated to the smb share and started the movie: played instantly.
so now i come to the conclusion, that the Problem is a combination of XBMC and the Network Access. And this is where i need ure help , because i dont understand why its working on my Android Galaxy S3 so well, and on the Box not.
Here some more Infos:
Hardware: MyGica ATV1200
Files: SMB Share on Windows 8 PC
XBMC Versions tested: Frodo 12.0, Frodo 12.2
I dont understand why i have these Problems. In the Amazon Recensions everyone says the box is so great and XBMC working so well, and i cant even play my videos
If u need more Information just tell me.
i hope u can help me
