Hi guys,
Been using LE since the fork occurred (before was on OE) and on RPI2-RPI4. Starting from latest builds of version 8 on rpi3 and finishing on latest 9.2.3 on RPI4 (recently moire often) having issues with film freezing and then bringing me back to home screen. In my setup I use only out of the box plugins, no live tv - only playback HD/FullHD movies located on my NAS via SMB shares. I've been using 2 different NASes: D-Link in the past and currently FreeNas. And in 90% of the cases I cannot watch movie from start to end titles without freezed film and then being brought back to home screen.
Here is what I see i the logs:

I had to change advanced settings in the past so here they are:
<advancedsettings>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>52428800</memorysize>
<readfactor>4.0</readfactor>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>
I would understand if it was buffering issue where it was reading slow, but log says it's a connection timeout which means no connection at all. My RPI4 and NAS are connected via gigabit switch, are in the same subnet, my Win PC can read/write from/to that share with 112Mb/s which is basically top speed of the gigabit connection and I never got any drops there. Is there any way to test that specific share from Kodi (iperf for example, but not the average speed - I'd like to see if there were connection time-out). Please advise
Thanks,
