xbian images ships with advancedsettings.xml pre-created. it's located at /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml .

the buffer is set to 20Mb by default, which should be definitely enough.

while playing video, press "O" on keyboard (or on your remote button which provides "context-menu" in XBMC) and check whether it is really buffer under run (cpu load not hitting 100%) and buffer MB allocation going from xx to 0 (possibly with growing skipped frames number).
