Hi, I have this strange issue and I am looking for ideas.
If I play very large file (for example 100gb movies) in my Dune by reading them directly from my Synology NAS, either using NFS or SMB, I experience continue stuttering audio and video.
BUT...
...the issue is not there if I play exactly the same file from the internal hard drive of Dune.
For this reason I initially thought this was a Lan bottleneck (despite I have a 1gb lan system fully tested).
But then I remove any doubt with the test below.
I tried to play 3 large files at the same time with VLC and Windows Media player (via SMB) on my PC, instead of using Dune.
In that case everything goes smooth! All the 3 movies has no stuttering at all.
Synology upload was 40 megabyte (about 300mbit) per second.
This definitely means that the LAN system has no bottleneck, and neither is Synology a issue.
So the problem has to be the Dune.
So, after I had excluded any lan issue, I tried to change the default internal player of DUNE, and tried Dune VLC and another one that was available in the option.
But the problem is still there: the player used did not change anything.
The I tried to adjust buffer in Dune (from auto to large, then to small). But problem is still there.
Then I tried to upgrade DUNE to latest stable firmware, and even install the latest beta firmware!
But problem is still there.
So I have no ideas left.
Someone has some suggestions?
