I just finished playing around with the latest version of mezzmo and have an issue. I'm trying to stream a 1080p mkv over a wired network to my directv HR24-500 and the video playback is choppy. I then converted that file to 720p and it played smoothly. I even pre-transcoded the 1080p file before trying to watching it but it still stuttered very badly.

Is this an issue with the HR24-500 receiver just being too slow? I wouldn't think so since it can play 1080p television? The network is completely wired gigabit. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

On another note, the television is a pioneer elite PRO-150FD, that supports dlna. I haven't tried streaming it directly through it but maybe it would do better with the 1080p?
