XBMC Ignoring Cache for LAN

Any help on this?

I've tried 2 different Gigabit Netgear switches (8 port and 24 port), both the NAS and AppleTV are Ethernet 6e to the switch. I've tried many different files, most quite small in bitrate. And whats incredible is the timing, always 6-7 minutes into the show.

Here is the player starting:

Here is the crash:

By "crash" I literally mean, the AppleTV will not respond to any command from the remote, its halted as far as I can tell. Look at that almost EXACTLY 7 minutes. Playing the files local, no problem at all.

Is there no way to buffer?

So I upped the MTU of the NAS to 9000 (from 1500), and retried. Identical results:

Here the Film starts:

A crash will bounce you into a crashreporter.log, a hang will not. You are hanging... not crashing. It's an important point.

Yes, thanks, its why I put it in quotes.

To continue the saga of oddness, I just for giggles tried something.

Old way:
XBMC running on AppleTV ---> Netgear 24 port GB Switch --> NAS via smb

This method would fail after 7 minutes, almost exactly.

New Way:
XBMC running on AppleTV ---> Netgear 24 port GB Switch --> Mac Mini via smb mounted symbolic link to NAS ----> Netgear 24 port GB Switch --> NAS via smb

This works just peachy but requires the Mac Mini to be online. I have no idea why this works, the data isn't local to the mini, its just a link to a smb share on the NAS, the EXACT same share.
