I should mention I have tried deleting and cleaning the library, and then I was able to add the source but still the videos failed to play.
I also restarted all devices,but still having the same issue. Someone on another forum noticed that the connection to the Drobo seems to be timing out, but I am lost on what to change/update/look at to figure out what started causing that to happen.
Thanks for the help

paxskins..
I am having the same with Kodi quitting movies specially with 1080p mov files over local network. Someone mentioned in another forum to change the network buffer size in Advancedsettings.xml to a higher number. So, If do know how to get into your AFTV via SSH.. I use Cyberduck on my mac. then and go to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml and modify it. In case that there is not Advanced setting folder..then create one with text edit and save it as .mxl and move it to the location above mentioned.
here use this one.
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>104857600</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
</advancedsettings>
I think that should solve our problem. I still yet to test mine since I don't have my AFTV at this moment.
Let me know if it works..
Hope that can help.. Good luck!

I believe if you are using the ADBFire program you can push the file to userdata folder that way. If you look closely to the right, there are options to push/pull/delete files. Just select userdata click on push and should be pushed.
Good luck!

Thanks, yes, makes sense. Will give it a whirl, however, this seems like a Helix fix, not Gotham.
Are you runing Helix on FTV? I wonder if I should just remove gotham and go that route, but not sure if it actually offers me any benefits.

Backup XBMC with Backup from programs or with ADBfire. Get Kodi Helix APK, install it and it will migrate everything to it. Delete your XBMC Gotham apk file with adbfire. In case that the migration goes wrong or missing some stuff, then your back up will come handy.
As far as benefits is that you'll be running the latest Kodi Helix.
Good luck!

Thanks guys, I went ahead and removed Gotham and got Helix, and everything seemed to be running better, but then all of a sudden, videos would play 15-30seconds, or not at all then stall and go back to the main menu.
So I tried to use the advanced settings.xml info you had above with "<cachemembuffersize>104857600</cachemembuffersize>" and it didn't help.
Any ideas?
Does the buffersize need to change? How can we troubleshoot?
