I moved my raspberry pi right next to my router. It turns out that it can playback these movies no problem, regardless if it is on WiFi or ethernet, but if it's on WiFi it needs to have a very strong signal. I was on 70-80% in the basement and that wasn't good enough.
Solved!

Sounds good! I'll try that shortly. In the mean time, I'll post the mediainfo for the three movies just to see if anything stands out that might also be responsible.

It looks like they all have pretty similar formats, though the two with issues have close to double and triple the bitrates. Seems like wifi issues are quite likely. -
Hi there!
I just setup my raspberry pi 4 with libreelec to stream movies over WiFi from my Odroid HC4 via SAMBA.
I watched one movie all the way through with zero issues. Afterward, I tried watching couple other movies in my collection, and they both had major issues with playback. Both of them would suddenly pause, then run at very low fps, then speed up, then pause again.
Freaked (1993) worked without issues. The Aristocrats (2005) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) both had problems. The log should only include the issues with Tokyo Drift as I enabled debug logging after the fact.
I could imagine several different things could cause these problems, but I need your help to figure it out.
Where should I begin?
