So, server installation has not been changed, you installed a fresh Kodi client, right?

That is right, no changes. removed sd card. tested. flashed image. set up kodi. simple! (or so I thought)!

Kernel 4.9.91

Yes - according to properties in windows.

I did notice that - but the audio plays fine!

File played fine before, now it affects nearly all media including mkv and mp4 (maybe test some more later).

What bugs is that it plays fine *if* the same file gets started on the laptop. That makes me think it is network/samba/buffering related. Have I missed a tweek somewhere? The kodi help pages seem a little out of date and theres a lot in there that is windows specific, so I tread carefully.
