Guys, search the posts.
Someone, I forgot who, figured out the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule supports a very crappy version of the SMB protocol, some netbsd based thing.
It is not Samba. It does not perform well.
There's nothing we can do about that. Get a better device to stream media from, or help with getting AFP going. Maybe it'll be better.

I don't believe it. Never had an issue with my USB drive via airport extreme. I have heard that they have slower USB ports, but it has yet to be an issue for my 720 content.

I have exactly the same problem on [WINDOWS 7]. DVD files ok, big files no good. Black screen with sound. Also, when I exit to the menu, the movie plays in the background, but when I put the movie, it does not work. I was almost happy when I saw he said that pausing the video worked, but that didn't do the trick for me :/
The files are in my internal hard drive.

AHHH now it works... All my movie work for some reason and don't know how. I started messing with the configurations for synching, but mostly random stuff so don't know what I did if I did anything... well, if the problem comes back, I'll post something
