Vero 4k+ unwatchable buffering on all media

Hi,

Have been away for a few weeks and coming back all media is buffering on load, TV and movies, making it unwatchable. Have tried reinstalling/updating everything bar a clean install. System set to auto update on everything so assume some change has occurred but I cant figure out what’s gone wrong. Omega, PlexKodiConnect, wired connection to a Deco mesh network. Runs through an AV to the TV. I think I’ve included full logs below following instructions but please let me know if I’m missing anything. Any advice would be appreciated before I try a fresh install.

While I am not sure if that helps I suggest to first search for Updates again as you are not on the latest update (there was a fix published after the initial 21.1 version

Really? That’s strange as I have tried updating and upgrading several times so assumed I was on any latest fixes. I’ll do that again now.

Sorry, my mistake. I confused with a fix that was published for another person but just in testing.
You are on the latest stable version. All good, sorry for confusion.

The buffering occurs because we run out of frames to render (EOF).
I can see that the URLs have the reference ‘transcode’ in them. Is it possible you have transcoding on Plex enabled and it can’t keep up?

I’ve turned off any transcoding the plex side but no change. It shouldn’t be trying to transcode anyway as it’s often just one 1080p stream and the plex server side reads the Vero as Direct Playing the stream with almost no CPU usage. I can’t figure out what else would be throttling the stream from the Vero. I might just try removing PKC. I know it’ll be something stupid I’ve done.
