I'm struggling to stream certain .ISO files using Minix Neo U1 loaded with KODI. The ISO are DVD. The Minix is a streaming media player based on Android

When I attempt to use my old Western Digitial Media Player, it plays fine.

When I attempt to use VLC via my Windows 10 machine it plays with no problem.

The issue is only with the Minix.

The first thought I had was a network issue but a quick test with Ookla.com shows I get a 35MB download speed. I didn't consider pinging to attempt to look for packet loses because the same set up works with the WD media player, so I don't think it's a network issue, although I won't rule it out

Some times, the Kodi GUI doesn't do anything when I attempt to play the .ISO. I hear a sound so I know it's received the command to play the file, but the GUI does nothing. Sometimes I get a prompt stating "One or more files failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message."

The logs are at https://paste.ubuntu.com/24565953/

Any pointers would be appreciated!

I've just downloaded KODI to my P8 Android Mobile. The same issue persists, ruling out a device issue. Attempted the same file with VLC on my P8 and it plays fine
