Ready to play in 1 minute FOREVER
A quick background. I just bought a new AppleTV because my old one (3 yrs old) was crashing all the time. Literally, restarted in the middle of a show or movie.
So, I set this thing up, after a very un-Apple-like setup procedure where nothing really worked quite as seamless as expected (bluetooth took three tries, Home sharing two tries, etc.). I rented a movie and started to watch. Watched half and decided to watch the rest the next day.
On the next day, I select Resume and it says "ready to play in 1 minute"; except it stays like that FOREVER. I have tried restarting, unplugging, even restoring and setting up the bloody thing again. Guess what... NOTHING. It ALWAYS says ready to play in 1 minute.
Why didn't it save what was downloaded yesterday?
Why can't it figure out how much time we REALLY have to wait?
My rental time is almost up and I can't watch the freaking thing!
More importantly... why doesn't it just work!
Update.... after a system update, two hours of waiting, it started playing from the beginning (not resume) but now without AUDIO.
Unbelievable. I hate "smart" devices that can't even do the basics.
