Folks,
Thought I would post in case anyone else is having the same problem:
Problem
When playing video files over a wirless (Lynksys 11b Game Adaptor using WEP) SMB share (predominantly avi) the movie plays for around 10 minutes then stops and returns to the XBMC movie menu screen.
Tested
Of all the things I have tried it would appear that running a cable is the only thing to fix the problem, pointing towards the wireless network as the issue, ruling out the media files themselves (as these have been suggested as the issue on many occasions elsewhere).
I am slightly confused because these files work fine over the wireless network in XBMC 1.1.0, but because I know little about the software changes I will have to assume that some change has been made to XBMC 2.0 regarding how it plays networked content that is causing the problem.
Anyone who is having the same issue, try running a cable and see how you go.
Anyone who knows what might be going on, feel free to post back. For no I am planning a Gigabit RJ45 install throughout my house!

Tested
- Same avi files in XBMC 1.1.0 - No problem
- Tweaking the cache settings
- Cleaning the video library (from XBMC menu)
- Switching off wireless and running a cable
