Wow!
This might not have anything to do with your stall but I was just wondering, what form of addressing are you using in TVR for your NAS drive(s). Drive mapping, UNC Path, or Network IP address?
For my library folders on my NASes I strictly use UNC Path such as:
\\BackupStation\video\TomVideos\TomTV
\\Jo-Ann_Videos\video\J_AVideos\J-AMovie
I seem to slightly remember using Drive Mapping at some time in the past and having some sort of problem. I can't remember exactly what the problem was but that was when I switched to UNC Path and the problem went away.
