now i can play the files from xbmcmythtv but the playback of audio and video is very jittery which makes it pretty much unwatchable.
the network is a 100mbps rnuning over an ethernet switch with only 2 or 3 pcs on it, so surely that shouldn't be a bottleneck?
the recordings are being accessed over samba. i was wondering whether that could be an issue. does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and how i can fix it?
thanks,
