Can you be more specific? Judging from your mediatomb post you are using Linux? Does this happen with music too? Can you test something for me?

Firstly try increasing your mplayer cache. Run this in terminal:

Code:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/cache 1024 -t string
If that doesn't help, try this. Install this client, ssh into your tablet and start knots with knots2. Start playing a video and you should see the stream address in terminal. Press ctrl-c to kill knots2 without stopping the stream. Then run mplayer -cache 1024 "address" to view the stream with MPlayer. Let me know if it stops then too and if it prints out any error messages. Also run the command again to see if the stream is still running and it was just MPlayer that stopped.
