Rather than clog up the Q & A thread I thought I would start a new thread.
I initially had problems with all my three Star Wars films , where I would lose audio or picture would stutter. I tested a few more last night and found problems with Avatar, POTC & Terminator 2. I pressed the info button while playing and found I was getting buffer underruns. This usually happened when the bit rate was consistently above 35 which would suggest a network problem?
I have checked my network with LAN Speed Test and a simple file copy and both seem to suggest my network is running at 80mbps + which should be enough to stream HD movies and indeed has done with an HTPC running XBMC. I have tried a different cable and port on the router with no change. I have tried all options on the Dune that may make a difference and still can't solve it. I also tried Mark's idea of resetting the Dune and re-installing but no joy.
All my movies are mkv's stored on an HP microserver which is running Unraid. Can someone suggest anything else?
