My media storage is an Arch Linux setup which got an update to kernel 6.0.1. While this is nothing special and everything is still working normal and fast in my local network, I'm experiencing massive audio and video hickups and glitches when accessing media files from Kodi (LibreElec) by NFS. No issues when using e.g. VLC or MPV from my local machine, which is also Arch Linux.
I rolled back to a kernel <6 on my storage and everything is fine again with Kodi/LE. So this is no request for help and has a very low priority, but I thought it could be useful to mention that circumstance.

Do you have another Arch box you to verify the nfs oddness? Experiment would be to try playing the same file that lags with VLC hitting the nfs export. I guess you could try the experiment on your current Arch box hitting its own NFS share.
For the record, I have an Arch NFS server running kernel version 6.0.2, and Kodi on an Arch ARM RPi4 shows no issues.

Sure. Just tried that with my PC (AMD Ryzen/Vega), also Arch Linux / Kernel 6.0.1-arch2-1, Storage back to the same Kernel (6.0.1-arch2-1): VLC and MPV aren't having any problem, Kodi immediately fails with WARNING <general>: ActiveAE - large audio sync error like LibreElec (Zotac CI323, N3150/HD Graphics 400) is doing. This error happening with every audio and video file on both systems. Back to Kernel/LTS on the storage and problems with Kodi are all gone.
If you can do other tests, just gimme sign...

Not sure what else to try given when you already observed.

BUMP. Still a problem with Matrix and Linux 6.1 Kernels (ArchLinux/x86_64). Will retry and report with Nexus/NFS4 the next weeks.

Closing this issue as "solved by upstream". Had some very exciting days with "Alien 1-3", jumping forth and back in stream, pauses and breaks, but no hickups, glitches nor errors.

I won't to reopen this issue, this message is more a placeholder. But the issue appears again, this time with a Kernel >=6.5.x on NAS and only with audio files. Clearly audible hickups and glitches. Back to Kernel 6.4.12 and all is good.
Strange...

Oi, very interesting. But my Kodi (LibreElec) is using libnfs and NFSv3 settings. And I was able reproduce this behavior between my ArchLinux/Kodi (no matter which Kernel) and my NAS (also Arch) when using Kernel 6.5.x there.
