got the same shutters. then changed nfs mount options and used

Code:

vers=3,rsize=262144,wsize=65536

in any case the buffers change was for me enough to play the video with sw DTS decode without shutters. still I always get ONE at the very beginning (in first 5s) but then no single one until finish.

report back.

Success!! Kind of.

It actually works now....when it works. I don't know if these are related or not. But when a video plays, my stuttering/skipping issues are gone. Thank you so much.

The problem is, now when I ask a video to play, sometimes nothing happens. So I try again. And nothing happens. And then a error pops up saying that an error occurred and the video couldn't be played.

So I restart the Pi and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But when it works, all videos play and everything is smoother now. But sometimes I have to restart 3 or 4 times.

Here is the last bit of log file when that happens. It says "skipping unplayable item". It clearly plays it sometimes, so I don't know what that means.
