Cannot stream movies from itunes on apple tv 3rd gen
Here's the situation.
I have a 3rd gen Apple TV that is wired to the router that is plugged into my cable modem. My Xfinity internet connection is 36 Mbps at least.
movies streaming from iTunes are either prone to buffer for a few seconds frequently or take forever when initially "loading..."
netflix movies on the same device play flawlessly
trailers for movies streaming from iTunes play flawlessly
I have a Samsung blu-ray player that is wired to the same router.
VUDU movies streaming from the VUDU server play flawlessly
I have an iMac that is wired to an extended wifi access point that is wirelessly connected to the same router that the other two are connected to
movies streaming from iTunes play flawlessly
I've done the following troubleshooting steps
#1. restarted the Apple TV (multiple times)
#2. restarted the cable modem and router (multiple times)
#3. switch to using SD resolution
#4. confirmed that I'm running the latest version of iOS for Apple TV (7.2)
This used to work. Now it doesn't.
I've got around 60 or so iTunes movies but am seriously considering switching to VUDU for my future download purchases.
