Does Media Library only work for network shares and not on media servers?

[brody]

Actually, upon further review.  It did help.  I think my wired network might be taxed from averything in my home that’s using it.

What I did was used a wireless network that I still had connected and now I’ll use exclusively for the WD.  So far .mkv’s are playing with no stutter on the MAC share.

So, my apologies for not reading into your suggested links more in depth.
