Sound?

Have you tried playing the files locally on the solo ie via a device directly attached to the receiver like a USB stick / drive as opposed to a networked device, just to rule that out as a potential problem ??.

I've tried this overnight. I've also been playing with this a fair bit. Initially I thought the Solo was playing back files already on the NAS drive fine. That ISN'T the case. it plays SOME files fine, others stutter. It makes no difference if the file is an MKV, MP4 or AVI - some play, some stutter. The ones that were ok seemed to be cartoons
It played all files from a USB ok.
It will not play back files that it generates, that is TV shows recorded from the Solo to the NAS stutter.
TV shows recorded by the Solo2 to the NAS stutter back on the Solo.
TV shows recorded by the Solo and/or the Solo2 to the NAS all play back to the Solo2 without issue.
Files (all of them) already on the NAS play fine on the Solo2.
I've mounted a folder from the HDD on my PC. This holds back ups of the same files as on the NAS. Playing the very same files direct from that PC HDD, connected via the same network gives the same results as direct from a USB.
Is there a setting that is wrong or is the Solo no good at reading from a NAS? WTF?

Cheers,

Keith.

Bugger, can't see how to edit this.

I've just recorded a show from the Solo to the folder on my PC HDD. It plays back fine.
So this issue just seems to be, "why can't my Solo play back all files from my NAS drive, including files it has generated/recorded itself (and the file format is irrelevant), where my Solo2 can?"

Cheers,

sounds like a network issue so, hoe are your boxes connected? hardwired, wireless, homeplugs?

Ethernet cables through home plugs. But why would the Solo2 be fine and the Solo not????

no idea, try swapping homeplugs around & report back.

Judge, you may be a genius. The jury is out, but after switching 2 home plugs around ALL 3 boxes are now working fine. Watch this space....................
