Just for fun, I restored and re-jailbroke with greenpois0n RC6.1. Installed latest (3/05) nightly. Buffering is worse, if anything. Now I'm noticing that even 2 gig h264 mkvs (~45 min 720p TV shows) are unwatchable in SMB library mode. Files play for a couple minutes and then buffer every minute after that.
Load them up in PS3MediaServer and they play perfectly. This is a pain, though, as PS3MS doesn't seem to scan folders for new files unless the program is restarted, which means remote desktop-ing in to quit the program.
Maybe the ATV2 just lacks the memory to handle HD file streaming across a home network?
