MKV playback stops halfway through

After updating to servio 0.6.1 any mkv file I try to play it starts normally but after about 20 minutes in, playback stops like it reached the end of the file. If I press info then the length is reported correctly. But seeking doesn't work on the files.
The TV is a D series Samsung P51D550
Here is the info of one file that stops playing:

check bitrate on the file, If bitrate peaks to high it will cause this to happen.

I've checked with bitrate viewer and the highest peak is at 4:17 in, but playback stops at 19:45 with this specific file, and there are no unusually high peaks around that time. Playback always seem to stop approx between 15 and 20 minutes , with different files (all mkvs) so I don't think it is bitrate related. Even with a file where there is no peak over 8000kpbs.

I've tried again with debug logging enabled, but I can't see anything unusual in the log. I don't even know what am I looking for, there is so much garbage in the log.

I know its not garbage, but completely irrelevant information to this problem, and I don't know what to look for, or should I post the whole 80mbytes of log? I can't even find where the playback starts, not to mention stops. Because there are thousands of lines of library updates written into the log even during playback.

yep attach the whole log.

I restarted the service with the library refresh option turned off, and started a clean log. There are still some online feed updates in the beginning, but the playback is towards the end of the file.

log looks normal file is requested and is sent by serviio, no errors or discconnects are shown from serviio's point of view.

Still somehow it jumps back into the browser without pressing any buttons. Even the play time is reported correctly.

So, here's the thing:
I tried lots of mkv's all stopped playing at some point, and seeking didn't work on any of them.
But
After downgrading to 6.0.1, all mkv's work like a charm, they play till the end, and even seeking is possible.
So
I think its time you stopped insisting that the problem is with the files.
What is known:
1: The bug was introduced in 6.1
2: Even the
debug log doesn't show anything why this is happening.
3: Its random because every file stops at different timestamps, with some it plays for 20-30 minutes before jumping back to the browser, with others it stops after 3-4 minutes even.
4: But its also constant because it always stops at the same exact time if I play the same file again.

ok that would mke sense and tie in with some issues im seeing

excuse me !!! who insisted it was the files???
1: The bug was introduced in 6.1
yer i agree if it what im see thats correct
2: Even the

yep it does but only if you know what your looking for.
3: Its random because every file stops at different timestamps, with some it plays for 20-30 minutes before jumping back to the browser, with others it stops after 3-4 minutes even.
4: But its also constant because it always stops at the same exact time if I play the same file again.

nope there no consistancy to it, and seems to be an ffmpeg issue but more testing is require on latest beta to see if we have solved this issue.

Hello I´m new here. I´m facing the same problem (Serviio v 0.6.1). I have a BD D5100 and the movies (.mkv and .avi) stop and the player skip to the menu where are listed the movies available on server. The problem could occur at any moment. When the movie is restarted the problem not happens at the same time before but latter. Today I faced the problem twice at 17' and 51'. What information more I need to send to help you? Thank you very much.

Weren't you the one who said just a few posts ago that there is nothing in the log?

I 've played the same file five times and 5 out of 5 it stopped at the exact same moment, if that's not consistancy I don't know what is.

Cerberus, could be a hardware problem too? I´m asking this because I have the same problem using Samsung All Share software. My PC is a AMD X2 2.0 ghz / 2 Gb RAM / Asus M2N SLI. I´m using a wired connection trought a Dlink 524. Sometimes I need to restart the BD 2 or 3 times until to recognize the DLNA server. And once recognized is very difficult to get to the movies directory. I receive a message "Media Play cannot complet the action and will return to main menu" or "There is no movies files at the specified folder". What is the hardware´s responsabiliy to ensure DLNA´s working? Thanks in advance.

well yes it could be a firmware issue but we should be able to work round that. As for the rest that sound more like a network issue than software/firmware.

I've noticed that if I press info on the file, it reports a lower filesize than what it is actually. And it seems that the reported filesize is consistent with the position where playback stops.
