Hey,

so I just got a NP and can not get it to play back anything from my NAS reliably. After a couple of minutes (no consistent value), it just stops loading. The cache eventually runs out and the playback stops completely. If I start the same file again it plays for a couple more minutes then the same thing happens again.

I ruled out my network as a problem: if I initiate the playback through ES File Explorer and choose Kodi as the player, everything works fine. I tried different advancedsettings.xml configurations - changing the cache size does nothing. Just gives it some extra time when the chache is depleting. Btw. hitting pause when I notice the cache depleting does nothing. No matter how long I wait, it won't restart loading.

My setup is NAS ------LAN----> Router ------WLAN----> NP.

Any idea what I could do or what could cause the problem?

Can you get us a debug log (wiki) of when this happens?

I recreated the error with debugging activated. It happened this time faster than it does usually.

Also, I put the M Preview on my NP in hopes it would affect the problem, which it did not.

Hmm, not sure. Nothing jumps out at me from the log.

Something fishy with smb. I bet ES Explorer is proxying, so our smb is not used.
