Bravia W Series playback hangs after about 1 minute

Hi there,

I'd like to dig deeper into an issue that intermittendly accompanied me through various versions of Serviio, two Bravias and two versions of Windows Server:

A video starts to play and hangs after about one minute. Playback resumes after pressing pause/start, and likely, after another minute, hangs again. Possible fix for the particular video: Exit video and choose again from the list. Playback is resumed ok and carries on, passing the magic 1 minute barrier. Later, press pause to go and fetch a drink, press play and after about one minute, the video hangs and the whole game starts over again.

The Bravia has a wired connection to Server 2008 running Serviio. The video is mkv/avc/ac3 and IMHO played natively. The temp drive has been changed from SSD to HDD without any change.

Any suggestions where to poke next highly appreciated.

CU,
Low

Suspect too low cpu power if movie was transcoding/remuxed (check detailed logging).
or
A network bottleneck. Check video bitrate with this tool viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2133 (is it for all your movies ?)

Do you check/enabled subtitles on serviio console ? try disabling.
Please enable detailed logging and check that video was delivered in native format.
