Streaming stops/freezing

Hello,

The streaming stops, as soon as you want to fast forward, and never start playing again until you make a hard reset.
If I do not fastforward there are some cases when during a 4k film its stops every 2-3 min.

Probably I have to set up something correctly but until now I did not find it.

I have a 2 years old LG TV with 1GB optical internet, with a high end PC.

Thanks for your support!

What requires a hard reset, the TV or your Serviio computer?

I will say that TV DLNA players are notoriously bad in general. They support a limited number of containers and codecs, and their user interface in general sucks. I generally suggest using a streaming player instead of the TV interface. Since you mentioned you have 4K video, I recommend the Nvidia Shield. While they are still available new it is a five year old design, but nothing else seems to work as well with streaming local media. I get all the lossless audio codecs sent to my AVR, it displays all the captions, and supports HDR/Dolby Vision. I use Kodi as my player app, which does take a little work to configure but it's a one time issue and is great for watching media after that. Beyond the Shield, there's a number of Android based players that are capable of using Serviio as a media source and supports the codecs and captions I mentioned able. Just be careful about the network connection, as most are only 100 Mbps. If you can tolerate the Amazon-centric user interface, The Fire TV Cube (3rd gen) does about all the Shield does as well.

I just tried playing some of my movies on my LG Nano85. I first played a OTA broadcast I had recorded, so it was MPEG2 video and AC3 audio. I could pause and FF then resume without a problem. I'm currently streaming one of my 4K rips (Star Wars) and I'm so far impressed it plays at all. Remember that even though you have a Gigabit network, the TV only has a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. And mine is connected via Ethernet, so I would normally expect the 4K movie to be too high a bitrate for the connection. I expect your 4K media is simply saturating the network connection of the TV, which is causing the buffering every few minutes. You might try WiFi, as it might have a faster connection. For example, my Roku Ultra has a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection, but by using WiFi I can get a 220 Mbps connection, which is fast enough for my 4K movie rips.

I don't think there's anything in your configuration that is incorrect. There's really nothing to set up in Serviio that would control such issues. As long as you have the LG TV profile selected, it should work to its capacity. But as I mentioned, it's capacity isn't all that great compared to many external media players.
