So was just watching 'The Flash'... all went well till 37 mins in... 0.5 second 'pause' in video and audio... nothing in the logs.
Then an hour in movie totally paused for seconds... then stuttered slowly forwards till I stopped it.
I immediately connected to my JF container and grabbed the logs.
So at that 37 min point, nothing in the logs... so ???
But just a minute before all everything went wrong, a media library scan task fired! Like why are those set to run during the day???
So I am now editing ALL the JF tasks in the settings to times when I'm definitely asleep.... or disabling ones I do not need... like the subtitle task and chapter images.
Also going to check all tasks on my NAS, on my shield (plex for example; checking that seems sensible, only runs tasks 4am to 7am)... kind of obvious now I discovered this.
Hoping this could be final the missing link here - explaining the disconnects I've had before etc. Annoyingly that scan task was set to run at 21:54 each evening, so would overlap a lot of my movie watching times. The better share mounts I have now also has been helping stabilize playback for sure... I had so many more small glitches before.
After doing the above, not a single glitch watching the final 80 mins of the movie... so fingers crossed.
Perhaps with running JF on a lower resource device you just have to find all the rats and eliminate them. The hardware I have is for sure capable of streaming anything I throw at it... so we'll see.
