Either “Nobody is going to help you if you don’t wipe/reset your system first.” is simply wrong or you should make this a general rule and precondition for posting logs. Why ask for the log in the first place if it’s only “valid” for clean systems?
In my understanding milhouse suggested this to solve the Qlock question as I initially assumed it’s part of the system but he pointed out that it wasn’t. But I found and removed the cause directly. Wiping the whole system is quite radical just for the sake of it. As I’ve said, I have no other issues with the system and local video files of any kind playback flawlessly. Nevertheless, I’d be willing to change or remove parts of the system if they might be a plausible reason for such a problem.
In this sense, I have no idea why you’re pointing out those three repositories. If you really think, that solely the existence of another repository might cause a buffering problem between two chapters of a Blu-ray, then you should really question the architecture of the whole system. I really hope that’s not the case. If resetting the whole system is the precondition, then I’m afraid I can’t do that right now due to lack of time. Having said that, if you see an indication in the log that specifically those repositories or something else might be the reason for this problem, I’ll be glad to remove them.
Regardless of the log, my initial question still remains unanswered: Are there (buffer) settings specifically for Blu-ray playback (or disc playback in general)?
I fully understand that nobody is obligated to help me with this problem. I'm just wondering why it was so important to create and post the log if no one's actually saying anything about it (aside the misleading but unrelated Qlock part).
Just to clarify: I can continue to watch my Blu-rays with my Playstation as I did before. I was just exited to find out that LibreELEC is now able to do this as well (last time I checked some years ago it wasn't possible - apart from some makemkv experiments).
I don't think that my setup is weak or incompatible. So I guessed if I have this problem, maybe others do as well. My intention is to find and document the reason for this problem, so it is of general help. If there are Blu-ray settings that can be adjusted, I'll be happy to try them. If there's a software problem, then this might be a good opportunity to fix it for improving disc support in LibreELEC/Kodi.
That's the only reason I invested several hours analyzing this problem and creating these logs (the Blu-ray needs to play for a while until the problem occurs and I need to sit there and watch the same scenes over and over for the time codes). It would've been easier just to continue using my Playstation.
I just continue to ask for help because I don't want the work with the logs to be wasted time. Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks milhouse. Based on that background information I did some research on the web and in my kodi folder and found out that Qlock is a screensaver addon. Apparently I had this installed years ago. Although I've uninstalled it, it was still there in the kodi\addons folder, so I manually deleted it there (and in the addon_data folder). After rebooting and looking at the log, it wasn't there anymore. So far so good. But it didn't change anything regarding the actual problem. I've created a new log file with the problem.

The log actually contains multiple runs, but please look around the 22:40 time mark:
Having watched the same BR now multiple times to reproduce the problem, I've realized that the first problem occurs always at the same scene. Looking at the log, there's a chapter change. After that the buffering runs into a problem.
After the buffering interruption the playback continues normally for about 10 minutes. Then the playback starts to stutter. See log at 22:51. Apparently there's also a chapter change. But in contrast to the first problem there's no buffering interruption. The playback just keeps on stuttering on and on.
The problem occurs beginning with the next line that happens 2 minutes later (at 18:44:04.115).
Before I start playing around with cache settings for all local sources, I'd really like to understand what has been logged in the requested debug log.

The playback was interrupted at 18:44.
What does "[Qlock] - Delaying 240 secs" mean? That's the last line before the interruption.
I don't see any BR or DVD related settings there, so in my understanding I would need to set buffermode=1 to allow changing the cache size for all local sources? Local playback from an internal hard drive works flawlessly, so I'm a little hesitant to change settings that affect that as well. I guess I could try and change it back later?
I've added the KEYDB.cfg file to my LibreELEC and was able to run a movie from a Blu-ray disc. Unfortunately, every couple of minutes the video stops for about 2-3 seconds and the loading circle indicates buffering in progress.
I'm wondering whether there's any way to adjust this? Maybe the buffer isn't large enough or it doesn't start buffering in time?
(I don't have any problems with playing 1080p files from a local drive.)
