lostincable Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hi everyone just trying out playing hevc files of my unraid box and experience alot of buffering.  Tv is a Sony 2018 Android tv and I am run kodi and spmc.  The tv is connected via ethernet and the unraid box is hard wired as well.  I have played the file directly on a PC not streaming from the unraid box and the file is ok.  The drive it's on is a ST31500341AS which is quite old.  Is it possible the drive is struggling to keep up and is there any tests you can run on the disk or CPU to see if it's struggling to keep up to eliminate them as the issue ??  Any help appreciated.   Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 You need to run a series of tests to isolate the problem.   1- stream the file from the server to the PC  2- stream the file from the PC to the TV  3- put the file on a USB drive and put the drive into the TV.  Link to comment
