Definitely not. Post a debug log of it breaking. The Windows version is often one of the smoothest, so if there are problems, we'd love to know more about them.

Before you got too much further, you might want to make the jump to Kodi Helix in beta now, might fix what ails and leap you ahead in builds.

ATV2 issue might be that we seem to use a little more RAM in v13, and the ATV2 is fairly starved at only 256MB of RAM already.

One thing to check is that on your windows machine you are using WASAPI for the audio output. I had issues on my Revo with Direct Sound which causes this type of playback behaviour. Once changed over all was good.

After I posted the above post I went through the computer. There were 4 outstanding Windows updates (nothing that seemed relevant to this issue) that I applied and then rebooted the computer.
I then ran XBMC and turned on Debugging. I immediately tried the movie I previously had trouble with and it ran as smooth as silk. I also tried the item I tried earlier the evening to see if it worked and it was perfect as well.
We watched another movie on Saturday night without any issue and started a second movie, again, flawless.
I'll keep an eye on it and as soon as I hit something that gives me an issue I'll grab some debugging info. Is the a keypress I can use to turn on debugging without going into the XBMC settings?
Also, should I go ahead and upgrade to Helix Beta? I like having this stable for the wife and kids.
