I can second that the .net beta seems to help with disconnects and reboots on the MVP.
After reading patd's post, I decided to give it a try. I was playing some MP3s earlier in the day with a reboot about every 3 or 4 songs. More consistently, the MVP would stop responding while doing a slideshow using the My Pictures plugin while streaming an MP3.
I installed the .net 2.0 beta client, restarted the gbpvr services, power cycled the MVP, and decided to try to recreate the problems I had earlier in the day. I started up the Music Player plugin in Jukebox mode and waited. About 5 or 6 songs into it, everything seemed fine. So I left it playing all night long and this morning it was still playing without issue for over 7 hours.
I'll have to see what I get when playing back mpeg recordings of some shows, hopefully it helped with the stability with that as well.
