The issue happens after playing for at least a few minutes, but can also happen an hour or more into the movie at random. Network will be stable, all local streaming on 5g wifi and out of nowhere for no discernable reason the playback stops or buffers for 1second to 2 minutes even when server resources and network are stable. not sure how to fix it as sometimes it will fix itself if you wait, and other tiems you need to close and restart the playback and app. but sometimes it requires a restart of the server app to clear the issue.
this isse has been going on for the last 3 years but has gotten very bad after the most recent major update.
