Plus the buffering happened on a RPI2 that worked flawlessly with the exact same movie a couple of months ago, I don't remember on what version I was back then. I will try to install 17.3 on a different card and see how it goes. I never saw the buffering stuff in the past , nor should I, all my stuff is on local LAN.
See if you can identify an older build that works correctly. If you can't it will be something on your network.
I once had terrible network performance. I found I'd configured a device with a static IP address that collided with the DHCP one of the device with the problem.
A dodgy ethernet lead could also be causing this.
Try disconnecting other devices from network and swap ethernet cables.
Another possibility is it's a problem on the server hosting the files.
