What exactly is glitching?
I’d suggest posting a log so we can see what is going on. Perhaps the issue is not power supply related.

Thanks Sam.
Glitching is intermittent (but otherwise very common) freezing / stuttering and the occasional visual decoding glitch such as a block of the screen displaying different colours and blocky / garbled imagery.
The Vero V can go for weeks playing perfectly, and then not work properly for weeks, this cycle continues.
Similar issues playing a different file. Note that playing the same files from an Apple TV in the same stack is fine.

Hi Paul,
This doesn’t really tell us a lot, so I checked the full log.
Please change resolution to 1080p and Adjust Refresh Rate to Always as a test and try play Barry Lyndon again.
Your log shows:
2025-08-03 13:19:04.478 T:3050 debug <general>: CFileCache::Process - </mnt/tyrellcorp_movies/Barry.Lyndon.1975.CC.iNTERNAL.BluRay.2160p.UHD.REMUX.HEVC.10bit.DV.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-Aisha.mkv> cache completely reset for seek to position 29524588415
Change the settings as suggested above and also check for potential bandwidth issues on /mnt/tyrellcorp* share.
Cheers
Sam
If you still have issues, it might be worth us splitting this thread out as this certainly doesn’t look like a power supply issue.
Sam
Agreed. Moved to:
Quick update on my issue. I took the low road for complexity and switched to wired LAN from wireless (just following a hunch) and I haven’t had a single hang in the last 3 weeks (instead of frustratingly one every 2-3 days before). I’ll keep an eye on it but if it is power related it might be worth looking at the wireless subsystem or chipset for power drain.
That’s interesting, I kept having issues even after I replaced my wall psu a year back, and it got worse during summer time (hotter). I finally hooked up oscilloscope and noticed the 3.3v and 5v rail being very unstable, especially close to wifi chip. I got rid of my problems after soldering a few extra capacitors on 5v and 3.3v rail. I never mentioned this since its a definite void of warranty lol
FWIW: I use a few devices with WiFi daily. I haven’t seen thermals change based on that.
You already voided warranty when you put a custom heatsink on the board (from memory), so not sure why you haven’t mentioned soldering additional capacitors until now. I would be interested in your findings, although with it not being a vanilla board anymore they may be moot.
Doubt it is power related or you’d see an onset of issue before 2-3 days. I’m aware of an issue with ASUS and UniFi APs that can cause a hang on certain conditions over time. Hoping to have a solution in a couple of weeks but it’s hard to reproduce and I can’t seem to pin when/why it happens yet.
