PS4 - Playback is jumping constantly

Hi, I've noticed an issue where certain videos' playback is constantly jumping forward anywhere from 4s to 20s. The videos that have this issue are MP4s, but other MP4s worked flawlessy before. Any suggestions on what could be the issue?

Are you accidentally bumping your R2/L2 buttons? They're very sensitive, I've noticed Plex skipping because of them just from setting the controller down on the couch.

Nope, definitely not

Yea i noticed that to have to sit my control on the table next to my bed instead of the bed cause it jumps movies all over the place.  But this seems to not be the problem for the op have you checked the audio maybe thats on the mp4 that has issues ?  And maybe reboot ps4 and pc and try the same video again and see if it repeats the problems.

This version is clearly rough right now, which they sort of warned us it would be.

My first test of it wasn't so great: a 720P MKV file skipped and had blocky green artifacts every 3 or so seconds. Ended that test early and went back to the Samsung TV app, which played the file flawlessly.

Core I5 2500K, 8GB RAM.

I am certain it is not my setup. I also use gigabit wired on everything.

I'm also sure the PS4 probably plays most things fine or they wouldn't have released it at all yet... but it definitely needs work

my server is a i7 930@4200mhz 6gigs of ram and i havet had a file not play right even 1080p blurays play fine 1 thing i did do was set transcoder in settings to auto for some reason that helped with playback and cpu usage on my server.

When you all have playback problems we need the media information, the selected local/remote quality, and selected audio stream information.
