BritBloke Wrote:Fire69, I was having lots of problems with SMB sharing over wired ethernet. Tried lots of differents setups like yourself. I then setup an FTP server and now all my MKV's stream beautifully (even 1080p).

Like you, I prefer the simplicity of SMB (I also run a dedicated XBMC Live HTPC that has zero issues with SMB) but for the sake of my kids getting upset every time they see "Buffering...), I'm happy I switched to FTP!

I'll research this when i have time as I have the same setup. Seas0nPassed aTV 2 on 4.3 (4.2.2) with the last XBMC before Keith's newest build connected via ethernet to a second "Time Capsule" using SMB to access the TC's 2TB HDD. I experienced a few issues and began removing installed extra's, main issue seemed to revolve around NitoTV (also installed aTV Flash Black). I started free with only XBMC, and mkv's that had severe buffering (even simple SD mkv's) work flawlessly, with DTS passthru. I was able to get a 10GB 1080P mkv to play that would crash instantly, however after a few minutes XBMC would crash and reboot the system.

I'll check into FTP as an option is this is truly as beneficial as claimed. Thanks. Smile
