Readynas 104 gives errors during playback via VLC.

I got an RN716 with FW v6.2.2 and have some movies stored in it. I have just recently downloaded and installed the latest VLC player on my PC running Windows7 Ultimate 64-bit. It seems just fine watching a movie from my RN716 using VLC player though I haven't yet fully completed the movie until now. I stopped at a certain portion of the movie because I felt sleepy and will continue watching it when I have the time. By the way, my PC and my NAS are all wired through my network :D Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall VLC player? Have your tried to reboot your RN104 as well as your Windows7 PC? Have you tried using another PC/laptop if ever you have? Are you watching a movie using the VLC player via a wireless connection?

I must point out that sometimes I'm able to watch a video without problems, but the problem is consistent enough to a point where it is getting annoying. The chance of a file playing without problems is less than 50%.

VLC is un / reinstalled whenever I upgrade. The problem has persisted over a least one upgrade of VLC.
My NAS shuts down and reboots itself every night / morning, on a schedule. My Windows PC is off whenever I'm not using it. Not Hibernating or in stand-by, but proberly turned off. So it has a reboot at least once every day.
I havent seen the problem on my laptop, but I don't use it much for videos.
The connection from the Readynas to the PC having problems is through a Gigabit Wired LAN, using a Netgear GS108T managed switch.

I have an older Readynas NV+ in service also. Playback of videos from that unit _never_ fails.

I suspect some kind of error / incompatibility with the RN104 and my Windows 7 setup, I just don't know what it might be.

As said, playback from my mediacenter unit, is allways without errors (from both NAS'es).
