Kodi 18.5 on a QNAP HS-251+ (Baytrail) HD-station 4.05 is running pretty well, with the exception being Netflix :-(
Problem is: When starting an HD movie, after a while, the steam stalls and the buffer is going down to 0%, consequently vq and aq are following.
Stream stopps, the nice icon appears and, slowly, fills back the buffer, steam continues.
Internet Access is 50Mbit/s, and steady, other VOD apps are having no problem at all.
Tests with any kind of combination of Video sync to display, adaptive syncronisation V/A, passthrough on/off, could not fight the issue.
It's getting better with lower resultions (720p) generating lower Video bandwidth, but anything above 5-6MBit on vq is causing trouble.
changing from h264 to vp9 does not make a difference either.
I'm running out of ideas with these constant "CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer" and "NOTICE: CVideoPlayerAudio:rocess - stream stalled". see log in Pastebin.unuyawahet.kodi (paste)
Just now I spotted an error caused by the plugin, and I catched in the attached log. If someone knowledgable can give me a hand where to further look into, highly appreciated.
Just need another pair of eyes ... ...or the developers willing to look into it.
Thanks !
first suggest you to delete advancedsettings file
perform a test bandwidth from nas with some website tool to know the real mbps, if it's low it's useless
if nas perform other operations while you're watching a video, the band gets smaller
could also be a network configuration problem like wrong/bad dns
also Proxy and VPN is cause a lot of problem
if it is connected with wi-fi it might not be a good channel for streaming
I have no idea what is bringing down the performance so heavy. CPU is at 40%, RAM at 70% on this J1900 Bay TRail platform, because if DRM causing SW decoding. So resources are not short.
Strange
youtube 1080P use smaller band because it is self-adaptive on bandwidth
here we still don't have automatic quality transitions based on bandwidth
you can perform a temporary test, directly connecting the NAS with LAN cable on the router, excluding WIFI on NAS, so in this way you can really exclude a possible wifi problem
