[QUOTE="Matthew Houston, post: 1114240, member: 121550"] I have a rather large media collection, between Movies, Episodes and recordings, whenever I try to watch a non-recorded file (either through Moving Pictures or My TV) the playback will randomly stop. Usually about 10 minutes in but anywhere from 10 minutes in to 3/4 of the way through. It doesn't error out or anything, just drops me straight back to the menu as though playback has stopped. If I go back to the media list, the file in question will be marked as 'watched' as though I had finished the file, regardless of how far it got when it stopped. The same behaviour doesn't occur when watching shows recorded with MP. It's strange because it happens to a 1080P high bitrate BluRay rip of The Hobbit, or a crappy old Xvid of the wire, doesn't seem to matter what format it is, or the size of the file. My setup is: [LIST] [*]Media is hosted on Server 2012 R2 share on a parity array (Storage Spaces) [*]Front end is hosted on the same network segment running MP 1.09.0 on Windows 8.1 U1 [/LIST] While the server does host the TV server and tuners (I realise 2012R2 is not a supported platform), I don't ever really have any problem with live TV and recorded TV, only existing media. I have no other network issues at all. Funny thing is, I have upgraded basically every aspect of my network and media setup and I still experience the same issue. Not to mention going through several iterations of MP. IO testing on the storage drive shows no issues, the read speeds are well up there (over 200MB/s on last quick test). Things I have upgraded over the last 6 months: [LIST=1] [*]Media Storage- Moved from storing media on my gaming PC (WD Green drives, hardware Raid 5) to a dedicated media server (FX-8350, 16GB RAM, 4 * 4 TB WD Red drives in W2012 storage spaces parity) [*]Front end - Moved from an old i5 Asus laptop to a dedicated media PC (Haswell i3, 8GB 1600 RAM, 128GB SSD - I have two of these with only one hooked up so far) [*]Replaced by busted old network with an enterprise level switch and replaced all cables (Dell 2800 series) [*]Tested by removing all other network equipment and running just the server and frontend [/LIST] I don't think at this point it can be network or hardware related, all my gear is decently specced and should be more than capable. It's been happening so long now that unfortunately I've been a bit lax trying to nail down any pattern, but over the many many months I have been scratching my head thinking it was my side of things. I'll attach all the logs I have over the last two or so months, I tried to grab some whenever I was home and it happened. Thanks anyone who doesn't mind having a look, I really am stumped at this!
