Hello. First, let me say that I am newbie. I used to use MediOS on a Windows machine, and just switched to Kodi. Kodi is great, and so much easier to use!
That being said, I am having a problem when playing back high definition movies from my movie server on my local network. The movies will play for about a minute or so, then the audio and video freezes for about 5 seconds, and then starts playing again. Right as the movie unfreezes, the pause icon shows up in the middle of the video for a split second. It does this every minute or two. Is this a buffering issue? I have read on here where people talk about seeing their buffer; how do you do that? I'm hoping this is a simple, common thing that can be easily fixed.
I'm using a brand new Apple Mac Mini hooked up to my unraid server through a Cisco SGE2010P switch. In Kodi (monthly 64 bit version I believe), when I added movies from the server to view, in the Video section I went to Add Videos, clicked on Volumes, and them added each drive on my sever (if that matters). Oh, and I'm using the Aeon Nox skin.
I'm new to all of this, and not very computer tech savvy. If anyone has heard of this before, or knows how to fix this problem, I'd much appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.
