Hi guys,


My set up:

Intel NUC
CPU - i3-3217 with integrated graphics
Windows 7, SP1.
Kodi 15.2
HDMI to a samsung home theatre (5.1 ch)

My Issue:
I was running Frodo on an Intel NUC (i3-3217u with integrated graphics), Windows 7, Service Pack 1 using an old computer I'd put Nas4Free on. I then upgraded to a Synology DS414 and copied my library across. They are connected through cable (a switch and router in between). Since then I've had really bad playback (buffering, slow to start or complete crash) and I can't seem to find out why.

I upgraded to Kodi 15.2 (I think this is the stable release) and the problem is still going. Most of my files that I have tested it on are mkv files (1080p, 720 and 480) and it still buffers.

Since I swapped to the DS414 I also added roughly 20k in music which I didn't have running through XBMC before. I doubt that would be it (and I've switched it off from being scanned looking for updates).

When I set up the new location for the library, I mapped the network drive then added it in Kodi.

I have a log here where I attempted to watch two 1080p movies where it buffered/crashed.

Any suggestions on what this could be?

Thanks in advance

Can you play the file in VLC or equivalent?

Did you monkey with audio settings recently?

Your switch, passes traffic no problem with everything else? Switches can and do fail or slowdown. Cheap things nowadays.

The cable you used, is known good?

Thankd for looking redwingfansfc. I followed those instructions in the log in the op and thats what was uploaded.

I have uploaded two more:

http://xbmclogs.com/pj9xxev7s (kodi.old.log)
This time it buffered around 20 seconds in.

Answers to your questions:
Can you play the file in VLC or equivalent?
Yes. both on the NUC and other laptops around the house
Did you monkey with audio settings recently?
No. Once I set them up originally haven't touched them. I did add the library again as I had changedfrom the Nas4Free to the Synology.
Your switch, passes traffic no problem with everything else? Switches can and do fail or slowdown. Cheap things nowadays.
No issues with anything else connected to the switch
The cable you used, is known good?
Its a cat6 cable thats only 6 months old.

Any other thoughts? Happy to try anything and report back.

thanks
