This SMB stuttering video glitch is driving me insane....

I have verified mounting the NAS on my iMac and boxee connects via local source removes the glitch allowing the movies to play clean even though it is still steamed via WiFi. The movies if played from the imac drive plays fine. The problem is only seen when streaming thru SMB.

Now need to mount the NAS on the ATV so boxee won't stutter. The AkwardTV has instructions for ATV 1.0 & 1.1. Nothing for ATV 2.3

Has anyone done this? If so could you aid this frazzled individual.

OK I just gave up and started from scratch (don't think this was neccessary but with the amount of stuff I tried clean slate is better)

1. Defaulted the ATV

2. Used the Boxee Patchstick (downloaded boxee & Launcher)

3. Loaded nitoTV (followed directions posted on chaosmultimedia - http://chaosmultimedia.com/CM/apple_tv/nitotv.html)
Step 4 Note I could not get this will not work so I used Cyberduck to do step 4 and move the nitoTVTakeTwo folder to the ATV frontrow folder.
Step 5 Note command ammended "ssh frontrow@AppleTV.local"
Step 11 - Pause

4. Loaded ATV_AFP (followed directions posted on chaosmultimedia - http://chaosmultimedia.com/CM/apple_tv/afp.html)
Step 4 Note I could not get this will not work so I used Cyberduck to do step 4 and move the ATV_AFP folder to the ATV frontrow folder.
Step 6 Note command ammended "ssh frontrow@AppleTV.local"

5. Back at ATV continue from step 11 of nitoTV installation and load only the following Perian, mplayer Codecs, Turbo's Kextloader, & Smart Installer

OK I can log into the ATV from my mac as a mounted drive (cha ching),

But this is my problem I want to mount a network attached storage on the ATV.

I select within nitoTV the network tab / add Manual Share Point

Mount Name: Time Capsule 1T
Mount Type: nfs
Mount Address: 10.0.1.1
Requires Authentication: No (has guest access read only)

When mount is attempted the following comes on the screen
"Mounting Volume Please Wait..."
This lasts for about one minute then returns to the network screen. Now within boxee I can see the root folder which is named "Genres", Yet when attempting to browse I get "No results found..."

So I ask where did I go wrong?

I also tried another mount type...

Mount Name: Time Capsule 1T
Mount Type: afs
Mount Address: 10.0.1.1
Requires Authentication: No (has guest access read only)

When mount is attempted the following comes on the screen
"Mount_afp: The mount flags are 0000 the alt flags are 0020
Mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error 22, errno is 2"

No joy here as well

I am at a loss, if anyone has a solution to my problem I will be eternally grateful.
