Description
Issues found so far:
- 1.5mbit limit (sometimes slower than that, only mp3 playback with 320kbps are only applicable with this bandwidth, trying to play FLAC audio or Videos through SMB network will lag the playback)
- Not all files are showed up *(more likely, there's a 2048 character limit on file listing on current directory you were viewing)

Hi john,
I have this problem and I resolved... now I can play 1080p from wireless 54g. direct from my usb ntfs attached in my netbook..
I only change this in register of my windows xp:
open regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
find a folder refered you network addaptet (see IP number)
now you need to creat a 2 news DWORD value
TcpAckFrequency with value decimal 1
TcpDelAckTicks with value decimal 0
Restart!!!.. Now you can play fine!!!!
Thanks Andreas for SMB share..

Unfortunately Tiago's fix does not work for Windows 7 and the 1.5 Mb/s limit remains a problem.

I've fixed some stuff that hopefully should make streaming a bit faster.
I have a couple of other tricks up my sleeve that should implement as well
But this is always a start.

I need to say that this feature kicks ass! Now at last I'm able to stream all needed material from my pc to living room. And showtime makes it well, movies, music etc even youtube, thanks!
I have used 3.3.127 version with windows 7 and managed get it to work just using the share function. (http://www.redsquirrel87.com/ShowtimeUnofficial.html)
I use anonymous access (no username, no password) and it works fine.
I have 1 Gb wired network.
As assumed max speed was about 1,5 limit so no hd etc. But otherwise it worked very well much better and pro than dlna.
I also managed get it to work via full speed using this information.

After making the registry changes I was able to watch full hd material way over 10 Mb speed, difference was very clear.
Problem is that I tried to use v3.3.143 and v3.3.149 versions but they are broken.
I can browse directories but when I try to open exact same movie that worked with 3.3.127 version i just get error saying something unable to process input stream.
I switched back to 127 version and it was fine again.
So something went broke.
Is it possible to fix this or restore it as it was?
I can test versions.
