Video Buffering/Pauses During Playback From UnRaid


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I did a search about this and found some advice about spinup groups, but that hasn't helped my situation. I'm still getting these pause+buffering issues when playing files from my UnRaid server. Since it just happened, I jumped up from watching a movie to grab a diagnostic.zip. 

My setup is super simple...no VM's, no dockers, no scripts....just a straight up file server. This occurs whether I stream to my main client (Kodi) or the rare occasion I use Plex (no transcoding). 

Files are all .mkv container. 

 

Unraid version 6.8.3

Board: X9SCM-F

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1220V2

RAM: 8Gigs

 

Diagnostics attached. 

 

Hopefully I provided all the info needed to help a brother out.

 

Thanks in advance,

zOnk

Hello. Yes...I am using NFS. My recent (and past) searches on Koki forums are saying that NFS is faster than SMB. I checked Plex nerds posts too and they seem to say the same. If I do make that switch, I'll have to remap all shares to both Kodi and Plex.

 

Maybe it's not unraid...? Maybe my router is player hating (Asus RT-N66R with current firmware)?
