bam099: Can you run mediainfo on the sample file you have been used and post all the info mediainfo gives? Your video info didn't include the bitrate, which is a critical piece of info.

I didn't run mediainfo....I'm on mac right now and not even sure if they have it. But I did use the included nfo file so I assume this is accurate. I also have determined that it can't just be the 1080p because I went on to test more (this is not scientific here cause I don't have data for the files) but I used a smaller 720p (smaller overall size) and it stuttered. Then played a bigger 720p file and it played perfectly. All on the same network and source computer. So it appears to be specific to the encoding done. But here's the nfo for the file that gave me a buffer problem. Refer to my previous posts in this thread for more info on this file.
