The video that is working was "Mad Mission 5 (HK-Fassung).mkv", the video that isn't working was "Space Invaders [Arrow Video 4K-Remastered].mkv".
I am using the "Raspberry Pi 3 Modell B+, 1 GB". To re-encode the files is no option, on Krypton EVERY video was working. Downgrad could be a last option - but I don't know how to.
Thanks!

I've copied the .mkv to a SD card and yes it's working!
So we have the case that some .mkv aren't playable from NAS anymore and some are still playable. Some days ago on Krypton this was working so it must be something related to Leia.
Clean install Kodi Leia with brandew clean configs did not help.

I can't help much with debugging samba connections to NAS - someone else with more knowledge may be able to.
Does the NAS support other protocols like NFS?

Cables are fine. NAS is pretty old and only able to handle samba.
I also tried the smb version settins in Kodi with no luck.
I now downgraded to Kryton and everything is working like a charm again.
So this is should be a problem between Leia and my NAS? But why only with some (always the same!) files?

I did some tests on a Pi 3 with different smb chunk size settings (Leia). It does not seem to affect mkv files at all. It affects only .ts files and BD ISOs.
32K: This setting is not good for some .ts files - random "buffering". However, BD ISOs open very fast.
64K (current default): less buffering issues for .ts, BD ISOs still open fast.
128K: almost the same as 64K.
256K: all of my .ts files work fine, no buffering issues. However, BD ISOs open slower.
It would be nice if this setting was user configurable.
