For the na-sayers out there. I typically run 720p, h264 video in mkv containers. That's what I watch unless the content is only available in 1080p. Why? Because I don't feel like waiting a day for a 1080p to come down. DSL 2.8Mb is not the fastest thing in the world but it's much better than ISDN or dial-up .

For testing, I have several typical sets that I use (over and over, hundreds of times). One which is the 1080p of Avatar. If that does not play smooth then there's a regression going on.

Setup, wired to Linux server using SMB. Never see the 'buffering' issue unless someone borks trunk then I'm all over it like white on rice.

davilla, I've got Avatar in 1080p here also.
It won't run on my wired atv running latest nightly, but it runs great wireless (!!!) in xbmc on my laptop.

I'm streaming from a server2008 through smb.

I can hardly play anything on my atv. I bought it for the dvd-iso's I have for my kids, but since I bought it, I haven't been able to use it in a decent way.
Just now, I watched a normal sd-divx and it buffered 3 times during the movie...

I've tried everything I can imagine, upgrading to 4.2.2, downgrading back to 4.1.1, nothing is helping. It even seems to be worse now since divx used to work pretty good before.

We (don't know johndo personally, but I guess I can speak for him ) are getting kind of desperate.
I'm even thinking of just selling the damn thing.

Please (pretty please) give us a hand with this!
