How are these devices connected to the network and how is your media server connected?
Server is wired, devices use WiFi
Which type of Wi-Fi and what type of wired connection?
I suspect that there's not enough bandwidth available.
Dual and 2.4 and 5ghz wifi, gigabit wired. I'm speed testing the googleTV to >500mbps, so wifi should be more than adequate.
That seems adequate.
You say that phones and mobile devices stream fine. Os that from your media server, or the internet?
How does internet streaming work on the Google TV and Apple TV?
Essentially you need to keep eliminating causes until there's one left.
All other devices stream (locally) just fine without stuttering, I don't have access to the server outside my home network (intentionally).
The appleTV streams just fine, I just can't change audio track on that, which mostly impact the kids because they still have limited English skills.
