Stops playing after a couple of mins of playing

the synology which feeds everything in the house
has got plex on as well
just tried using that one

SYNOLOGY
2:38am mbu10 started playing Deadliest Catch - Clash Of Kings on SHIELD Android TV.
2:32am mbu10 started playing Deadliest Catch - Arctic Hurricane on SHIELD Android TV.Plex Media (6.1 MB)

it is if you tell shield not to play the original and feed it a encoded version ?

trying to play a feed from a friends plex server now, has to go thorugh the same switches as every thing else
this has just stopped as well
so that rules out my server/ synology
only thing left is either my network(switch) is faulty can test by selecting a diffrent wifi AP which does not use the switch
or the client software
fair comment?

so how on earth do i trouble shoot the plex app / Shield then ?

cause at this point in time i have emby working perfectly fine with no problems on the same set up.(it runs on the same server when i start it )

here is the logs ,
when enabled it actually kept hours of logs
sheilds log.txt.txt (1.1 MB)

think this is where is dropped it and started playign the next

this is what it did this morning
sheilds log.2txt.txt (77.5 KB)

any one ? got any helpfull hints?

any one help here?

Ok i am at a loss
will swap out the year-old switch and swop the nic on the server, but after that, there is nothing left to swop and 2 different devices are on different AP points eliminating the wifi
(so the main question is why is emby not seeing the same thing, it on the same server, its streaming from the same device ?
thanks
mbu

ok swapped the nic on the server to a different nic and replaced the switch with a known good one
and still doing it
pretty sure this is not hardware related.

just started up plex again
here are the logs
Plex Media Server Logs_2018-08-03_16-55-42.zip (3.8 MB)

here is the logs after it has ran for a couple of min and a screen shot to confirm the abovePlex Media (3.5 MB)

nope - not on the server or the client

have set to secured preferred and that address is my amp(it does not stream to or from this device it is on the network for updates to the amp)

why is it adding a amp with dlna , when dlna is turned off?
any way here are the logs and it stopped at 1748 and Plex Media Server Logs_2018-08-03_17-54-08.zip (3.5 MB)

that might have been when i asked it to continue and it stalled so stopped it an dasked ot play again and played fine,
will play again and post when stops again without asking it to restart

ok 1815 stopped again
this time i did not ask it to play anything else
Plex Media Server Logs_2018-08-03_18-16-04.zip (3.6 MB)

this is windows 2016 server standard
reexported them again Plex Media Server Logs_2018-08-03_18-40-05.zip (4.7 MB)

the synology is a back up and stops via that server as well
but all the tests i have been playing with are via the primary (windows 2016 server)
