Code:

10.23.24.137:/media/Aspartic_Acid on /mnt/Aspartic_Acid type nfs4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,vers=4.0,rsize=262144,wsize=65536,namlen=255,har​d,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=10.23.24.122,local_loc​k=none,addr=10.23.24.137,_netdev)

and this nfs4 mount with smaller buffers is lagging as well? what exactly is the server (brand / type) ?

No, it does NOT lag. With rsize=262144 and wsize=65536 it plays correctly. There is no lag in the videos.

The problem is sometimes they don't load at all. You push play and nothing happens. I go to the command prompt and try to read a text file in nano and I get "input/output error".

Then, if I umount and then mount again. Sometimes 4 or 5 times. Eventually they "mount correctly" (whatever that means) and then things play just fine.

But they just don't always mount. But when they do mount, the playback is fine. No lag, no stutter, no skip.

I'm beginning to believe this may be a separate issue from the original in this thread.

The server is just a pc I built. It is got plenty of power. Its an amd phenom II with 8Gb of RAM and gigabit ethernet. Its running linux mint 64bit. I highly doubt my server is the issue. I've been streaming videos off of it to xbmc on other computers for a long time. But who knows, maybe it does need to be tweaked.
