apple tv2 with atv flash, couch surfer pro can't stream video, media player smb stream bug

Legacy 2nd gen Apple TV
1

i have apple tv2 just bought atv flash, was going to use couch surfer pro for video stream from some site, but end up using iphone or ipod for airplay, seems couch surfer cant support with html video streams, and media player very lag when i stream from my pc, i would say xbmc has better video streaming, in this case i’m thinking about the refunds, because atv flash seems has not much for me.

i wonder if in the future they can fix the media player stream bug and also support rmvb videos, and be able the stream videos from couch surfer?

that way i would keep the atv flash. or there is a solution for my problems?

Video streaming (AFP/SMB) will be greatly improved in the upcoming Beta6 version.

If there is a specific site you having trouble streaming video from (currently only HTML5 video is supported) please post a link to the site/video and we can look into the issue further.

here’s one example:

It’s a Chinese media hosting site(similar to youtube) which plays fine on both my ipod touch and ipad 2 but just doesn’t play back on couch surfer(they seem to support html 5).

I’d love to see this actually fixed in the next beta.

getting www.slingplayer.com to work would be very nice in couch surfer. You need to emulate a Firefox 3.0 or better browser in 32 bit mode.

Here’s a very basic example:  http://www.devour.com

 

It’s a video collection site, very nicely organized, all HTML5.  Works great on the iPad.  But not in Couch Surfer.

Also found that mycast.orb.com does not work with any browser in apple tv. Dlna streams. Will do more testing tonight. May be my router.

wish there was a way to echo a browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer) to the ATV2 in some way.  Am searching for a solution to do this, but no luck finding any tools yet.
