Hi Sam/all,
Was going to reply to the main thread but it’s closed.
My unit was performing fine until a few days ago. I’d just been watching series on continuous play, no issues.
Finally went to browse through my films and check everything was listed (been having issues with the naming of Alien 3), noticed this was a bit jerky. Went back to playing content and it was suddenly freezing, buffering, saying it was too slow for continuous playback.
So this test was done with a PC (Intel I218V) wired to a BT Home Hub 6 (also checked with a Plusnet Hub One) then wired into the Vero4k+. Results are fine one way but not the other.

Is this the same issue? Strange that it’s only just reared it’s head.
If there were no updates done, I’d suggest a reboot of both the Vero and the NAS (file server, PC, whatever) and see if the problem clears up.
Vero has been rebooted as has the PC. Will try again later this evening.
OK better after a reboot, but still only half the expected speed going from the Vero, but seems to be fine without slowdowns now

480 retries still isn’t good.
Spoke too soon, 20 minutes into watching and bang, buffering…iperf3 results…

Sorry to hear this.
The device won’t go bad after time. The issue would have been there to begin with.
Did you run an iperf3 test when you received the device?
Sam
Hi Sam, no, I thought about it when I saw the posts on here but had no issues with playback so forgot about it.
Do you have another switch or cable you can test with?
I assume 192.168.1.65 is the PC which is wired.
Sam
Yep it is. I can connect them direct, although I’ll need to find a keyboard to login to the Vero with. Out at the moment so I’ll give it a try tomorrow
Will try this tonight, wasn’t in yesterday.
@sam_nazarko apologies for the delay, here’s a direct connection between the Vero and my PC, same result. I guess I’ve got a broken one

Sounds like it. Contact support@osmc.tv and we’ll get this sorted for you.
