MacOS 10.14.6 came out with supposed improvements to SMB3 reliability. I had a TV show freeze on me reliably a few times in a row, but I think maybe it was a memory issue with FireTV as it stopped doing it when I rebooted (I had been running several other apps on it, which sadly do not actually "quit" from memory but try to multitask on the device that lacks resources as it is) so I'm not sure if they improved things or not in the Mac OS update relative to KODI.
Edit: Nope. It's definitely SMB on the Mac that is to blame. It froze again and had to be manually restarted on the Mac to get it going again. Unacceptable. And Apple had the NERVE to claim they improved SMB reliability. It's much worse. I may have to go back to El Capitan on my external backup as it's too unreliable here. Or I could switch to NFS for now until/if they fix it.
