Emby randomly skips to next episode mid-episode

[UncleLeoTheDad 3]

Here’s a weird one that I have only on IOS and Apple TV 4K…

 

When I watch certain series on either of the above devices, the show will suddenly drop and then enter the beginning of the next episode.  It normally happens 1-3 times in a 40 minute episode.  
 

No action was taken on the phone or on the Apple TV when this happens. It just happens.

 

anyone come across this?

 

thanks!

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.  It was either behaving or when it happened, I wasn't in a position to capture the info.

 

It happened last night at 9:30PM on Apple TV and this morning at 9:16AM on iphone 15 Pro Max.  Attached are the logs.  It looks like for some reason the system thinks the file is disappearing.  Odd!

Thank you!

Are you having cable issues, or USB conection issues ?

[UncleLeoTheDad 3]

These files are on an external USB, so maybe I am and don't realize it.  Will explore.  Thanks!
