Recently both a second hand BV11-46 as a replacement for my BV10-40.

The LAN adapter performs very bad.

When I stream MP4 files from my Synologie NAS, playing stops after 10 seconds, resumes after some time and then stops again.

When I use my Samsung Blu-ray player to play the same file from the NAS, it runs perfectly. I used this also with my BV10.

Both LAN adapters are connected to the same switch.

My dealer told me that this is a normal behavior for a BV11....excuse me!!!!!

So I am wondering what’s the experience with other BV11 owners and streaming MP4 files?

Please let me know.

Piet.

Tried the same MP4 file on a USB stick. It plays without any problem.

So processing capabilities for decoding seems not the problem.

Does anyone experience the same problem with the LAN adapter?

I have a 46 BV11 that's been happily streaming Internet and LAN video for years. In another location, I have a 55" too - and that's also been rock solid with Internet streamed delivery from iTunes & Netflix & iPlayer.

If all you say is true, and the same files via different inputs or via different device renderer, do not show thew same behaviour - then you may have a failing LAN port/ controller.

It's not common, but it's not unheard of either, and a network tester can usually spot them. Typically a failing LAN socket sprays bad packets out onto the network, as much as it mangles inbound traffic. A network sniffer should be able to spot the bad packets and by plugging/unplugging you can see if it's your BV11'a port that's the culprit. You can pick these up on the Bay for 20-30 quid.

Generally though, all the other ideas others have suggested in one form or another, are the more likely culprits - esp. if the files are acquired from anonymous sources, and their encoding is unverified.

Hope you get it sorted.
