Won't play files over network

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
1

I have 2 vero+'s connected together via a power line type mesh system.
Now for some reason I cannot play files from the main one, on the second (bedroom) one.
It will play files stored locally.
I think its a problem with the network speed, but not sure what to do about it…
this is the network speed test results using iperf3

Any help appreciated

I would start by rebooting all of your powerline adapters. If that and a reboot of the OSMC boxes doesn’t clear it up I would try different ethernet cables and a reboot to see if that produces results. If there is a network switch also in the system rebooting that may be worth a try and as would trying a different port of the switch.

Thanks darwindesign. I had rebooted the vero’s a few times and i thought i had rebooted the mesh system. But it turned out you have to reboot the modules individually, i had only rebooted one of the slave modules. Now back working as it should. Will have to see if i can schedule a regular reboot maybe once a week as a precaution.
