Direct Play issues with certain films

[chimpfacts]

The slow response messages are pointless.  There is a check box to disable them, which I recommend you do.

Otherwise your log looks fine.

It is possible then that the actual video/audio streams are corrupt in some way.  Get another copy/re-rip the affected movies/shows.

Have had some progress in troubleshooting, happened to get a new laptop today and tested the same videos and they work much better.

Seems to be specifically on my desktop that the issues are occurring.

Wifi on my desktop is far worse than on other devices so I guess that will be the problem.

On the brightside, I have now ststarted looking to automated transcoding to make these files easier to play, so I think that will help with these issues.
