Your solution might indeed be to switch to a media server - see these two posts:
- from WD official FAQ
- from the community forum
If this does solve your problem that would be great. On my setup, playback from NAS has frame rate too slow to watch, but from media server it’s no problem.
My question for the community is: Does this samba limitation mean that we can’t use the “my media library” if we have high bitrate files? I like the content info, cover images, etc. of the media library, but if the files can’t play back how can we use it??
Thanks
