Problems with movie playback
Posted: Fri Dec 27, 2024 2:46 am
Hi,
I chose my media center to have enough performance to play all kinds of media.
Recently, I have been experiencing more and more often that after an update movie playback runs with sound dropouts and frozen images.
QSI of my mediacenter:
Where is my error in thinking?
Has the software become so slow that my hardware is no longer sufficient, or do I have other problems?
With the playback problems, it is completely irrelevant whether the videos are delivered from my NAS, youtube or a streaming service.
It also doesn't matter which software I use to play the movies (vlc or kodi).
In the meantime, it runs without any problems until the problems return with a new update.
Yesterday I was able to play all kinds of movies without any problems and today the problems are back after the update. I didn't see any package during the update that was relevant for media playback.
If I play the same movie on my desktop computer, it runs without a problem. Always!
I don't understand it!
