November 18, 201015 yr Not positive of the issue but think it might be network related. Starting to have occassions where the playback of media files just hangs for 1-5 seconds and then when it starts again it looks like it FF to new spot. If I go back, it plays fine until the next pause. Trying to figure out how to troubleshoot & resolve this issue. Playback file is on the unRAID server. It has just recently began past couple days. Sometimes great response, sometimes this pause/FF. WAF is taking a beating
November 18, 201015 yr I have to agree with the network idea. I used to get exactly that behaviour when I was streaming HD video content from my unRaid server to my media player over PowerLine Ethernet. Even dvd isos could be a bit picky. Once I switched to Gigabit, all my pauses, stutters, inability to FF or RW went away... What sort of network are you running? Also, if your network is wireless, it could be a neighbour's wifi battling with yours (or a new microwave messing with your signal)...

Any logging I can turn on at unRAID or somewhere else to troubleshoot the issue? Also running SABnzbd/Sickbeard on unRAID....could that be causing problems either with network or overworking cpu?

Disk spinup can cause similar issues, even if not on the disk with the movie, but on the same spinup group. Are you seeing network re-transmissions? errors? ifconfig eth0 will show you some statistics.

Is that correct? I know a little unix but not at this level. Good enough to script some but not SA type work/troubleshooting. Appreciate you insight Joe
