Video Skipping and Missing Content

I am using TwonkyMedia 4.4 on a Linkstation Pro NAS and streaming on a Philips Streamium SLM5500.
I am having 2 main problems with using TwonkyMedia.

1st of all, I find that since upgrading to version 4.4, nearly all of my video content will skip to the next item whilst playing.
The video will display “buffering” for about 1-2 seconds and then go straight to the next item.
My first thoughts were that my wireless signal was poor, but the signal strength in that area is excellent.

If I re-install V4.2, the skipping will stop and everything is fine for a few days until, the 2nd problem arises.
For some reason the video and picture content stops and only music is visible to my devices. Re scanning and rebuilding the database does not bring the video or pictures back.

Any advice would be grateful, I have spent a lot of time and effort to try and make this work.

Video streaming and wireless is generally a no-no.

Have you tried with a wired connection? Does it solve the issue? I'm betting it will.

Fair enough, i will eventually be going to a wired connection anyway.

I still would like to know why the content didn't skip on version 4.2 and does on nearly everything i play on 4.4.

Also why i lose my pictures and video after a few days on 4.2.
