Error playing movies

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I’m having some issues since last updates (since skin changes). Now, when I select an episode from a serie to play, It take more than before to play (now 50seconds). But with movies is imposible. I can select any movie but It doesn’t start.
At the botton left corner of the screen I can see the art from the movie and the OSMC menu, without any loading screen. An example of log:

An update to the skin is not going to cause the issues you describe, so that is just a coincidence.

I see from your log that you are using wireless - taking 50 seconds before starting to play strongly suggests that you have a network performance issue on your wireless connection.

The log you quote simply says that DVD player gave up waiting for data to arrive over the network connection.

Are you able to test temporarily with an Ethernet connection to help identify whether the problem is wireless or something else in your network ?

I have changed my wifi dongle from that one rtl8188eu to my old rtl8188cu and now It work as before. Movies start inmediately (some seconds). :frowning:
If I return to 8188eu doesn’t work correctly…
With RJ45 or the 8188cu it works well.

8188eu version
osmc@osmc:~$ dmesg | grep 8188
