iPad 2 Home Sharing 1080 Playback

[jeb2u]

After upgrading all of my purchased iTunes movies to 1080p, they now no longer show up under the Videos app on home sharing on my iPad 2. Can the iPad 2 not playback 1080 videos? I have one purchased movie from iTunes that's still in 720p format and it does show up under the Shared tab in the Videos app. Ideas?

Ipad2 does NOT support 1080p

1080p - 1920x1080
iPad 2 - 1024x768


See the issue?

The iPad 2 CAN play back 1080.

But you will only see the benefit if you use the HDMI cable to output it to a HDTV.

Yeah and I now see where iTunes will not let me sync 1080 movies to my iPad 2 either. I was hoping to unload all of the SD versions of my movies to save space, but I may need to keep them now.

I synced and played 1080p movies recently from my itunes library to my iPad 2 (converted with handbrake high profile setting) with no issues.
The 1080p movies disappeared from Home sharing though on the iPad2.
I think it's a bug with the home sharing.

As a test, I just changed my 1080p movie metadata from 1080p to 720p using metax for Windows and now my iPad2 sees my 1080p movie via homesharing. Definately a bug with the 1080p metadata stamp to the file.
