If you use SMB - use something else and retry.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I was getting crazy buffering problems on my Shield. With some searching I found that I needed to specify cache settings in the advancedsettings.xml. Here's what's in my advancedsettings and I currently get no buffering problems at all: The cache section was what I added, the rest was in the default file on the Shield.
<advancedsettings>
<musiclibrary>
<backgroundupdate>true</backgroundupdate>
</musiclibrary>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>false</cleanonupdate>
</videolibrary>
<video>
<ignorepercentatend>10</ignorepercentatend>
<playcountminimumpercent>90</playcountminimumpercent>
<ignoresecondsatstart>60</ignoresecondsatstart>
</video>
<cache>
<memorysize>104857600</memorysize>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<readfactor>10</readfactor>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>

@"runningnaked" thank you sir, I was afraid of that, just wasn't sure whether some other setting has impact on it.
