I have 2 ATV2’s bother with ATV Black installed they both work fine while my router has an internet connection from the service provider, if the connection between the service provider and router is lost all i get on my ATV’s is loading while trying to access my shared files, the computer holding the shared files and the ATV’s are all wired to the router, surely i should still be able to access and stream my shared files with out an internet connection to the router?
I have the same problem independent of where (iMac, MacMini, NAS) I am streaming from. It is getting really irritating (complaining wife, grandchildren) that I am thinking of switching to some other hardware.
I installed XBMC with Quartz and skin and this gives it all the same perfect look as Front Row/Infuse does. A 2nd advantage is that when using Favorites the wife/grandchildren (in case they got lost in the menus) simply press ‘Menu’ and they always end up at the favorites menu and never in the topmenu.
