Thanks, I tried those commands and streaming is still jerky.
@wolfgar, when I tried 1080p it was with a local network fileserver hosted file.
I played around with various different types of 720p files and it looks like not 720p files stream the same. So far I have noticed the two file that suffer the choppiness are files with "BluRay.DTS.x264" in the name, rips are okay, but this is with a sample size of 4. I will try to download those files to my local NAS and see if issue persist, I tried stream local NAS files with the same format and streaming is fine. I'm inclined to believe that the download speed is not sufficient for this type of file. But the fact that my rpi can stream it fine suggest the link isn't getting full speed. BTW, I'm trying this with macbook usb to ethernet dongle currently since it's the fastest... @wolfgar, I have discovered my cheap chinese usb-ethernet ones run ridiculously slow, and these devices will cause significant buffering times during playback. The problem I have currently is with the few jerky frames.
