speechles 1929 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) why is it a PDF? can you make it not be a PDF. Those have virus. Can contain them. Why on Earth did you use PDF? make it just .txt or .zip the .txt so that we can trust it isn't a virus/trojan/rootkit/etc.. thanks The reason it might lag on WiFi is because you are limited on bandwidth. WiFi is theoretical and real world factors can make one area more prone to interference than another. If your WiFi router isn't "mesh" where it has overlap over areas you will experience throughput drops, clips, and spikes. WiFi range extender/repeater would help. Place it approximately half way between where you want to have WiFi and where the access point is. Edited November 29, 2020 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdatanet 1549 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 You can try to lower the quality, perhaps with a lower bitrate the playback is smoother. How is the Xteve buffer configured? Try to make changes to the Xteve buffer configuration. You can also try Emby's m3u tuner and see if there are any differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Map84096 3 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted November 29, 2020 Thank you for the suggestions. But I think the biggest issue was that my hard drive in the server was dying. New drive and full reinstall of everything seems to have fixed it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New drive and full reinstall of everything seems to have fixed it Hopefully you scored during the black friday/cyber monday deals on hard drives going on. They are insanely cheap right now. SSD are ridiculously cheap. Glad you got it fixed. I was curious how all 3 of your Roku on WiFi would experience the same issue. That would mean major interference or something slowing down responses. The dying HDD is going to impact all 3. Nice detective work. Any other problems you have on Roku? Let us know. Thanks.
