I think in this case it might be the file. I would try playing the file from thumb drive or similar directly attached to the Vero to see if it is doing the same thing. It doesn’t look like a network speed issue like we were previously working through but this isn’t surprising since I see your not using the same model Vero that you were at the start of the thread.
On a separate note your path substitution isn’t correct. You might want to read through my guide if you want that to work as intended.
