Buffering Help

I’m getting a lot of buffering over the WAN, both my server and client have plenty of bandwidth, which log could I go after to find out what caused the buffering?

Before digesting any logs you might take a look at the now-playing dashboard and check how your media is being streamed (local, remote or indirect) and if there’s any transcoding.

My stream is and always is direct play, how do I use that information to troubleshoot?

Understanding if the stream is indirect would mean there’s a problem with a remote connection.
