Hello, I've just a chromebox but having a little trouble playing blu Ray iso. Has any managed to get them playing? Would it be by network or is the chrombox not up to the task?

Ok thanks. I'm running openelec 4.2.1. I'm using NFS share. I have a synology NAS drive which all movies are on. That's connected to my router via one of them power line adaptors as its sitting in another room. When it plays the file it takes a very long time to start playing and then when it does it stutters all the time. Not sure how you get a log file. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start with doing a speed test between OE and your NAS and go from there, because it's a network issue, not a ChromeBox/OpenELEC/XBMC issue.

Powerline is good, a real step above most wireless ethernet setups. However I find I have to replug mine every now and then or I get buffering.
But it is not a patch on wired ethernet. Run a cable. The only reason I haven't is that we are renting until our house is fixed.

And there are lots of flavours of Powerline converters - with very different performance levels (and the quality of your home wiring can also make a major impact).
