Weird issue that has persisted across two different servers.

I've been using emby for years and I love it but for the life of me I cannot figure this issue out. About 6 months ago videos would start fine and then begin stuttering halfway through a movie, always at about the 1 hour and 10 to 15 minute mark, it will play about 15 seconds and then skip back about 5 and rinse and repeat until the end of the movie. It doesn't matter if I've watched the whole movie up until that point or just fast forward to some time after 1:15, it always does it. I tried changing settings but never figured it out, since I use an old laptop for the server I figured it was about time to reinstall windows on it and rebuild my server, laziness got in the way and I never did.

 

What I did do a couple of days ago was take a raspberry pi 3b I had lying around and create a new server on that with dietpi. I was worried about it being underpowered but it works great for my situation, none of my hd stuff needs transcoding (except for remuxing and maybe audio) and it is more than powerful enough to transcode my old sd avis. But I sat down to watch a movie last night and it still does the skipping thing.

 

At this point it seems unlikely that it's the servers, so anyone have an idea what it could be? I store everything on an external hard drive and have the transcoding temp folder on there too (my old laptop's hard drive was on it's way out and that worked for me, on the rasp pi I didn't want the temp to be on the sd card because that would be very slow). But since it's so consistant that files mess up at around the 1:15 mark could there be some limit on how many of the temp files it creates or something that is messing it up later on? Any guess here would be much appreciated.

 

I've attached my server log with an example of late movie stuttering.

Hi there, can you please attach the ffmpeg log from this as well? thanks !

Sure thing. The server is putting out many ffmpeg logs per minute so I'm including the last two. I'm also including a new server log as I was playing something else since the last one and wanted this to match with the two current ffmpeg logs.
