Ok, seems to be solved, I don't know how to mark this as such.

Under Settings/Services/Caching, changed to buffer all filesystems, including local. Changed the memory to 1GB and left the other settings alone (system has 16GB of ram)

When starting playback the timeline bar on the bottom of the screen fills up rapidly to about 1/4 of the way or so, I'm assuming it's the cache filling up.

Anyhow, yes, playback is very smooth now. I'm assuming the SSD was reading too fast for correct audio/video sync to occur over time and it just "hiccuped" until the system caught up. Sounds good so I'm going with that.

Bye.

Hi all, searched the forums unsuccessfully but throwing this out there anyways.

I keep all my video files on a separate drive from the OS installation, both installed in a desktop PC. Copied the files from an old spinning drive to a new SSD and was experiencing random "freezes" during playback. Video and audio suddenly stops, then video only quickly speeds up for a second or so then plays normally. This just happened occasionally, not a huge issue just annoying.

Going back to the mechanical drive this does not occur. SSD playback was otherwise fine. Have Adjust Display Refresh Rate on Start/Stop, Synch Playback to Display off.

Noticed in Settings/Services/Caching that you can adjust the buffer settings, default is just network files.

Should I try changing that to buffering all filesystems, including local, and experimenting with the other options to see if that helps?

Sorry no logs as i have already changed drives, just concerned about the life of the mechanical drive.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue, or if I am right in my assumptions or totally off track.

Thanks!

Ugh, thank you.

So found out if I go into Media, then Library, Videos, into the individual seasons NOT showing up I see the filenames (ms_s07e01 etc.).

Then right-click on each filename and select Scan to Library, it finds the information and done.

Whatever...

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, here is the log if that helps:

Hello, running Libreelec 9.2.6 Generic on an HP mini PC. For some reason two of my TV shows are not scanning through the whole list of seasons. The worst offender is Midsomer Murders, naming conventions and folder trees are as follows:

TV folder, then Midsomer Murders (1997) folder, then Season 1 folder, then ms_s01e01.mkv, ms_s01e02.mkv, etc. files.

So each video file for each season in separate folders under the main folder under the TV folder.

There's 14 season folders however cannot get Kodi to scan beyond Season 5 despite multiple attempts.

Now the strange thing is, this is intended as a backup computer, I have another 9.2.6 box (different PC, same video files) that gave me the exact same problem but by changing information providers back and forth and cleaning the library I was finally able to get the TMDB TV Shows provider to scan all seasons correctly.

Anyhow, I enabled debugging and have a log but it says the file is too big (22mb) to attach, I can cut and paste the error sections mentioning the show into a smaller file and attach if that helps.

Other TV shows scan fine so don't think it's a naming or folder problem.

Time zones are set, do get an error that the network does not connect before it boots into Kodi despite enabling the "wait until connection" thing, but like I said everything else scans fine.

btw I'm using 9.2.6 because it runs much better on my older hardware, I'm aware it's out of date.

Thank you for your help!

EDIT: Just saw I need to do this:

"Do not post your logs directly into the forum,

use Settings > LE Settings Addon > System > Paste system logs

and post the link."

Will try to do this tomorrow
