Stuttering playback without Transcoding TrueNAS > ATV

[ullmat 0]

Hi, I don't know if I'm having the same issue or not, but it seems related. I just migrated from Truenas Core 13, to Truenas Scale 25... And things are working, but video has been stuttering a few times per episode watched. It's getting more and more annoying. The video is direct play without transcoding. Same hardware as before. File plays super fine over Samba share. But in Emby, stutters and repeats shorts sections.

Vid,

Using Wifi could maybe be an issue. 2.4 Ghz can broadcast much farther thn 5 Ghz.  Also maybe your neighbor is using the same Wifi Channel and causing your Wifi to get some interference.  You can check this with Mobile apps that scan for Wifi.  Maybe just changing te Wifi channel and or Ghz band on your router might help. 

I would not recommend 2.4 GHz wireless.  In my experience, that's what causes many of these issues.  If the signal strength is not adequate at 5GHz then the signal strength needs to be improved.

But 5GHz channel can make a difference, so worth testing this.
