Topic: MAC and Apple TV

[phreshie]

Lets see if anyone can help me here. So I use iTunes to store my WAV's and I use AppleTV to stream my audio files to my stereo. I have used my P2 to create wav files, loaded them into iTunes and AppleTV can stream them ...... but the latest tape I made Ive had problems streaming to ATV. I loaded the files in iTunes - Those files play in my laptop but not on ATV ..... why ?
These files were not created with my P2 but with a 722. The files show up as WAV's ...... an they do play in iTunes on the lappy. But AppleTV says it cannot play this file at this time ...... WTF ? I called Apple since Im not totally happy with the Atv, I stumped the kid as he couldnt help me. He told me to delete the files in iTunes and create the path again, which I did to no avail. Ive unplugged the Atv numerous times restarted both units multiple times ...... I since have deleted the files in the folders re-created them with the CF card but still the iTunes plays them but Atv won't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what bitrate and sample rate?

I'm assuming that he ran his 722 @ 24/48 but that is the only thing that I could think of that would be different from the files I make on the P2. I'll send the taper an IM and ask if he ran it at something different, could this effect the stream ? why will iTunes play it ? tx Scott I value your opinion.

could it be the file is like a .bwf but with a .wav extension?
basically the app doesn't know how to handle the extra header info .

[phreshie]

the files from the 722 are listed as T14.WAV T15.WAV etc .... i dont see the .bwf anywhere.

you're playing the files wirelessly to the apple tv?

can itunes stream 24/96 ? itunes wireless streaming is done via apple lossless format (everything is converted to apple lossless on the fly).  maybe it doesn't like 24/96 files

[phreshie]

Thats why I mentioned that the P2 has recorded files as 24/96 and 24/48 and those files all stream no problem.
Yes they go wireless to the ATV thru the iTunes interface.
I had asked this question before if iTunes converts on the fly, so you think even though its a WAV file @ 24 or 16 that it is still converting it to Apple Lossless before streaming ?  (is this AIFF ?) bummer - I figured its playing the 24 or 16bit WAV file and NOT converting. Confusing.

Apple Lossless

no bummer.  it's the same audio, it's just a smaller size (like a flac file) when streaming

Would you be willing to post a file I could try?  I have iTunes/AppleTV setup....
