[SOLVED] Strange Video Playback Problem

[Skywatch]

Hi again!....

1. Yes.
2. Yes (even the switch was off all night due to storm).
3. Yes.
4. Yes (many shares on machines).
5. Never had any luck with than when I tried before, but that was a long time ago....But this all worked a week or so ago and had been for many years...Really strange situation.

I have swapped cat 6 cables at the back of the servers (one to the other).
I have moved other end of above cables to another bank on the switch (24 port gigibit switch).
I have replaced the network cable to the pi with a new and tested cat 5e cable...
I have drunk several beers, but still the video is distorted unless I play the same video on the laptop.

I think this might be a good time for me to renounce all tech things and retire as a hermit to a cave in Southern Europe!
