    Tried and failed - just freezes and dies trying to play 720p and above from the networked usb drive over wifi. Going to have to give up on it and just put it on a usb stick straight to the box.

    I have a BT smart hub and have plugged a USB 3 portable hard drive to it.

    I have advanced settings set as:

    buffermode 0

    memorysize 278921216

    readfactor 20

    This works perfectly with internet streams but doesn't buffer the shared usb drive at all. Unfortunately, I have no way of changing to NFS shares and the cifs share doesn't return anything.

    Any ideas how to get SMB shares to buffer?
