I am experiencing the same issue/buffering as before mentioned. Has anyone succeeded to stop the buffering?

I had (hopefully not "have" anymore) this problem and was about to throw this darn puck through my skylight. I tried two different "servers," and had the same stuttering (even sometimes on SD content. A switch to a UPNP server (Serviio) that just dumps the file down a upnp pipe saw totally flawless playback. Why
Well, I think I fixed it by setting my SMB workgroup (System | Network | SMB Client) to match the workgroup of my "server." I'd done this before, but it had gotten overwritten during a reinstall. At the same time, I also edited /private/var/mobile/.smb/smb.conf and made the same change. No clue which of these did the trick (or both or maybe even neither...I know very little about iOS). But now I'm getting flawless streaming from my SMB shares. No stutter. Perfect trick-play. 720p MKV's are butter.
Like I said, a duh moment. But since I could still "browse" the SMB shares despite being in different workgroups, it wasn't something that I immediately thought to check.
May or may not be your issue, but something to double-check.
