For those that don't know Manjaro is a more user friendly version of Arch Linux. So it tends to be a little more bleeding edge than say Ubuntu or Fedora. I have also tried changing kernels to see if that was an issue and still had the problem. I should probably mention that this issue started for me in version 18.0 of Kodi.

Posting the specs of my media server is probably a good idea.

Sorry for your troubles @inkrypted.  I am providing THIS LINK to a similar, but not necessarily the same problem I too had with "micro-pauses".  You might try contacting the repsponder and/or search the forums for "micro-pauses".

Good luck, and if you do find a solution please return here and update us all.

Thank you jasn you have all been very helpful and understanding. I shall check out your link and see if it can help my issue. If I do manage to solve the issue I shall defiantly post it here. I have ordered a new router today the TP-Link AC2300 to replace my ASUS Wireless-AC1700 to see if that might be an issue. So we will see soon. Thanks again.

I have been doing research and it seems that almost every page that I visit suggest that I use a VPN with Kodi. I have a VPN but I use it on mine and my wife's phone because I do not trust outside networks. But this is why people think piracy when they hear Kodi and it is an excellent media server. I just wish it was known for that. All the stuff I stream is legal and never use Add On's unless they are official. Sorry for venting but I just hate what these site are doing to Kodi's reputation.

I don't know if this is a fix or not because it requires extra hardware. But I had some extra SD Cards. I placed a 64GB micro SD card in the Jetstream Android TV Box and then changed my advancedsettings.xml file to this.

<advancedsettings>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>52428800</memorysize>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>

Which made a huge difference and so far music has played without any interruption. However since the Jetstream Android TV Box only comes with 8GB of space I would highly recommend to use an SD card or a USB drive with a good amount of space. When plugged in make sure you Erase and format as device storage at least on the Jetstream. I used a PNY 64GB micro SD card myself I think it was like $15 at Walmart so not a huge investment. Then start Kodi and watch it rock!

I had to reinstall but I used this Advanced Settings 

<advancedsettings>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>52428800</memorysize>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>

Still using the 64GB SD Card but switched to 5GHz wireless network and so far so good. I hope that this issue is now solved.

Thanks everyone.
