Pausing multiple times causes "this video may not play smoothly"

When I pause my show or movie on Apple TV a few times (which is a lot with small children around the house), sometimes it will not resume.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I am not sure if it’s server or client related.

how quickly between each time? If very fast i can see the maybe the transcoder on the server needing to stop/start a lot causing buffer to take longer then getting that ( but only a guess )

Long pauses I don’t even try anymore. Typically, a minute or so. But I’ll reproduce and time it and report back.

Ok got some data:

  1. The video was being transcoded.
  2. I pause 3 time for 10-20 seconds
  3. Third time I got the error message.
  4. There was probably 5 min of play between pauses.

Anybody have any thoughts?
