I also tried to plug in a Gigabit Ethernet adapter just to see if that helps, but it actually made it worse. All though i just plugged it in and tested, haven’t done any tweaking at all.
At the 1h 38m mark the stutter/choppy playback is at its worst.
Some other 4k HVEC movies show the same issues.
That looks like a solid 100 Mbit connection, do I assume correctly you have a Vero4k not 4k+?
Anyhow that should be capable of playing a file with Overall bit rate = 51.5 Mb/s
First advice would be to take out the buffer in advanced settings as the default values are already optimized for the Vero.
Also is this only with on 4k movie or with all of them?
As mentioned, remove it as the standard setting is best.
Your problem must be somewhere other than network.
As a last test to exclude the network copy the file and time the duration to see if the transfer is stable. time cp /mnt/Movies/<location of the file> /dev/null
If that shows a value is below 90 minutes your network should be fine
In that case someone else would need to give advices.
Another question while im doing the test mentioned above.
To see if it helps, I tried using a TP-Link UE300 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter yesterday.
Turned off my Vero 4k, plugged the adapter in, attached cable and gotten an IP from DHCP.
Tried running the same file and gotten even worse results, literaly choppy from the very start.
Aren’t these adapters plug and play? Or do i have to set them up in a way? Honestly, i haven’t really given it much thought yet and haven’t run an iPerf3 or something yet.
As i understand you correctly the issue appears a longer time
“Its mostly with 4k movies, all though some high quality 1080p movies have occasional issues also”
did you install the april update on the Vero?
What version of NFS are you running on Win 10 Pro?
can you directly connect Vero and Win10 pc on same switch as a test?
I thought the vero 4k has an 100 mb lan connection, so gb adapter won’t add something i guess

But the issue was there also before the april update? just to be sure.
is there a reason to set all those add nfs settings? I’m not familiar with hanewin, but maybe you could try this without all those extra settings on Hanewin as wel in FSTAB.
for example this is how I set it (NAS and using /etc/auto.nfs.shares)
The settings in Hanewin are set by default, i tried FSTAB without all the blocksize settings etc… but that did not help anything either, that’s why i tried including them this time.
Yes, turned the Vero 4k off, attached the Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, removed ethernet cable from internal nic and attached that same cable to the usb adapter. Then turned device back on.
Well 97 minutes for a movie that is 149 minutes should be sufficient network performance.
As mentioned, I think from here someone with more “video” knowledge have to take over.
