Hi all,
My media\network setup is served from a media PC, connected to a gigabit switch, as is all my devices. Two weeks ago, playing any film, large DTS mkvs etc played fine, with no buffering or pauses through my Pi. Last week playing any file started to just pause randomly. I bought a new Pi2 for another room, but figured I'd replace the 'pausing' Pi with the new one. Not only do I have the same issue, but playing the same media, on the old Pi, but in a different room, plays fine. So I can only assume its something to do with the Powerline WiFi adapters?
Any thoughts would be well received, as I'm stuck as to why I now have an issue streaming.
EDIT: Just went down to test, and the same movie played fine with zero pauses. So I'm still stuck as to why its pausing.The powerline utility claims the connected Powerline adapater (to the Pi) is 177mbps, so that's not the issue.
