OK so I installed Ubuntu yesterday and have run into a problem viewing video files that are located on my network storage (Synology DS212J 2 Bay NAS with 2x 2TB hard drives).

Currently when I try and watch a video it plays for like 2 seconds, freezes for 30+ seconds plays again for a few seconds then stops.
This only occurs with movies on the network (tested by playing a movie off the hard drive). Have also tried accessing the same movie files using a computer running Win7 without a problem.

Anyone know of any fixes? or able to run me through some troubleshooting?

Cheers,
Issac.
