Anyone else having problems streaming mp4 files after the 2.20 update?  The video stutters so bad that it is completely unwatchable.   All other video types seem to be unaffected.  Also mp4 files directly on the PS3 drive seem to play fine.  I'm using TVersity media server.

If they play fine on the system, then it is not the firmware update.  It must be your connection, PC or the file itself, not the update.  If it were the update it would play the same way.  You could also try a different media server.

Are you able to stream mpeg-4 videos  without a problem?  There is at least one other user in the firmware update thread that this is happening to.

Two can still be a coincidence, but I inclining towards thinking update 2.20 broke mp4 streaming. I'm also having this issue, which I didn't had before. All streaming (I'm using WMP 11) .mp4 files I tried stutter terribly. It's not a connection issue, much higher bitrate DivX/XviD stream perfectly. The issue is not present when playing the files from the hard drive.

Interesting that it is happening with WMP 11 too.  Sounds like a definite firmware issue.

We'll have to wait to see that. Every time there is an update there are dozens of people who experience many issues. Some of it just bad luck. Just looking around I've seen people saying the update broke their internet connection and things like that.

The MP4 issue isn't just bad luck. The firmware definitely did something to break it. As I mention in this thread ( http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.i
d=ps3media&thread.id=105651
) a file that played just fine on 2.17 doesn't play on 2.20, with no other changes. The same file copied to the hard drive doesn't work from local storage, either, although MP4s on disc, and an MP4 that was on the HDD before the update seem to work ok. I'm inclined to think that whatever is effecting streaming is also effecting the data as it's being copied over the network, too.

Same problem here.  Using Twonkymedia - mp4 stutters...  worked fine (all 200 of my movies/shows) on 2.17.

No, it is definatly the update that did this, as I watched one of my mpeg 4 movies just before the update, and now all my mpeg 4 movies studder following the update. Seems they fix one thing, to ruin another.
 
But I must add that I have a couple that would not play at all before the update, but now play, but studder eaqually...
