iOS XBMC.log (wiki) file would be the first port of call, though it sounds like a networking issue.

From the debug log I see that your video DB is corrupted. I'm not sure if that would cause this, but resetting that would be worth a shot. Use something like iFile from Cydia and delete the following file
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database/MyVideos60.db

Not sure at this point. I'd bet on it being a configuration issue on the Windows side, but I haven't configured shares with Windows 7 before, just XP.

have you tried the 'Everyone' user? .. it only worked for me when I did the following below in Win7:
a) On the shared directory, make sure you have appropriate file permissions (right click Properties->Security tab->'Edit' button.. add 'Everyone' user with read permissions)
b) On the shared directory, make sure you have appropriate share permissions (right click Properties->Sharing tab->'Advanced Sharing'->'Permissions'->'Add'.. add 'Everyone' user with read permissions.
Well I had to do these steps for my setup. Hope this works for anyone out there.

I've started to try again to get this to work after leaving it for a month. Noticed that music files play fine (although it takes quite a while for a song to play ~ 1 minute).
this is only a problem for all non Windows systems. I have two other laptops (one running Windows XP and the other running Windows 8) and there are no problems at all. All my iOS devices have this problem. I'm able to see all the shares/folders/files, but videos just don't play. Files running on my NAS play fine. So I'm pretty sure that it's a permission issue of some sort with iOS and Windows 7 shares.
Is it worth me uninstalling Windows 7 and re-installing?
Thanks!

The only other thing I can think of to try is to make sure the sources are using IP addresses instead of NetBIOS names. Sometimes the lookup on NetBIOS names can cause a delay like that.

If you bring up the contextual menu and select "edit source" it should then show you what you entered for that source.
