   Hi,

   After the recent firmware upgrade to my HDR-1010S (2.00.13) I've got a very odd issue when streaming video either either media share via my network or when playing media such as avi's that I've saved to my humax hard drive. The media will play fine for roughly 40 to 60 minutes but then the frames per minute will slow down very slightly, the sound will still stay in sync but video play back is not smooth, its slightly jumpy.

   To work around the issues I have to stop the film and open it again and fast forward to where I was and it'll be fine for another 40 to 60 minutes.

   I've tried a factory reset (which didn't format the hard drive oddly enough) but it didn't make any difference. What can I try next?

   The device was bought in the last two months from John Lewis and is running wireless (same issues when wired).

   Any help would be gratefully received as I really don't want to have to revert back to a media PC.

   Thanks

   Not noticed any issues, if you pause the playback and restart does it resynch the audio and video streams ?

   Hi, thabks for the repky. In the past if I pause for long periods of time the playback speeds up to normal speed but if I pause and play straight away the playback is still lagging.

   How is your source and box connected to your router ? Surprised that your box will even play avi's. All my content is in transport stream containers.

   Its connected wirelessly to my router. Ivev tried a wire via a home plug to my router but the media share wouldn't pickup my media server (use plex). It's annoying as if it were lagged on media played across the network I could blame either my server or network but as it happens on media played from the Internal hard drive it must be the humax box.

   I have some 1080p24 content on a usb drive way longer than 60 minutes. I will try and playback one to see if it's likely to be an issue with the container format. Do you know what video and audio content is involved ? If you install mediainfo and select tree view it will give you this information.

   Played back 70 mins of 1080p24 ac3 5.1 audio without issue (transport stream container).

   Can you try opening the mp4 above in tsmuxergui and remux as a .ts. Do you still get the issue? You will need to replace the aac with ac3 for tsmuxer I think.
