I’ve been having this issue for a while and getting no further to solving it, hoping you guys can assist
I have a Raspberry PI connected through a set of powerline adapters and a netgear router to a Lubuntu machine which stores my TV shows.
I have reset my routers, rebuilt the Lubuntu machine and the raspberry PI to ensure all equipment is using default settings, but still no joy.
The issue is that when watching a TV show, playback will either jump ahead a few seconds and continue as normal and/or playback will stop and return me to my list of TV shows.
I’m unable to try a wired connection to rule out wireless and have also tried editing the advancedsettings.xml file to try various things.
Being as your using Lubuntu, you should consider using nfs; I’ve found it has better throughput than samba and you may find it more stable than your current setup. Details can be found here:
