Recordings playback issue on Apple TV

I used to get near instant playback of Recordings on my Apple TVs; however, starting around the 1/31 or 2/1 builds, playback of recorded programs now take several minutes or more to start.

Once playback starts, only a second or two plays and then playback stops again.

Not sure if this is a valid test, but pointing at the same .mpg files in Plex, the files play without issue.

Sounds like a network issue, as nothing has changed on our end. Serving up the files to the ATV is dead simple- we just send the raw file over the network to the video player.

Plex is not a good test, as the plex server transcodes all video and uses much less bandwidth on your network.

Thanks for the quick reply. You’re correct; it was related to my network.

Appears to be an issue with one of the NICs in my lagg interface.
