  I just watched an episode of a different show, and while it didn’t completely crash, it still stuttered and paused randomly.

  I know it’s not the server itself, as it’s handling more intense tasks regularly with no issues, and the network works on every other device too. I stream higher quality with higher bit rates to the fire stick regularly too, with no issues.

    It could be the specific audio or video codecs of those files causing the stuttering issues. I’ve always seemed to have trouble with EAC3 audio even after 6 or 7 years and a multitude of updates and different hardware.

      That’s a good point. I’ll check the file and see if there’s anything unusual compared to the others 🙂

        Just solved an issue with transcoding where I had to delete the codec. It redownloads on server launch so was an easy fix.
