Why is local video streaming to Apple TV jerky?

Video streaming to Apple TV (v 3) has always been smooth. No matter what the online source -- from YouTube to Netflix -- the video is consistently good. Video streamed from Macs, though, is jerky to the point of unwatchable. Even when I stream it from a a Mac connected by ethernet with wi-fi off, the result is unwatchable. I cannot think what the problem could be. My wi-fi signal is strong (from two bridged Apple Extreme units) so when I stream wirelessly network shouldn’t be the problem, and I’m just a few feet from both ATV and AE.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), MacBook Air

Have you tried connecting Apple TV via ethernet?

To see a status of your network go to istumbler or similar, this will give an accurate representation of signal strength along with noise any nearby networks

If you'll note I was responding to another poster. Your attitude has been made quite clear so I doubt you'll find that most will want to help further with your situation.

Don't worry, I'll make due with such helpful gems as:

"Note: this is a user forum, you aren't addressing Apple."

The issue lies with the network, proper troubleshooting needs to take place.

So you did read this bit?

"Did anyone make any progress ? (please - I'm not interested in hearing from anyone who just wants to defend their initial assumptions - just looking for progress ... )"

I'm looking for some way to fix the issue, not just another way to say it's not working. If you can link to some "proper troubleshooting" that would be very helpful for me and others, but paraphrasing that there is a problem doesn't help much.
