Appreciate the replies guys.
My cables company is also my ISP,
So the device is a mixed device that serves as both my internet router, and cable receiver.
As part of its TV digital interface, it has the capabilities of DLNA client.
Here are some MediaInfo logs for working and freezing videos.
The following is for a
freezing video.
It freezes after about an hour and 15 minutes-

I don't believe it is related to the video's codec / encoding,
Because, as you can see from the above logs, Videos with similar encoding behaves differently.
And as I've mentioned, I don't have any other DLNA to check it on, as a refference.
Any suggestions on debugging it guys?
Thanks.
