Recently both a second hand BV11-46 as a replacement for my BV10-40.
The LAN adapter performs very bad.
When I stream MP4 files from my Synologie NAS, playing stops after 10 seconds, resumes after some time and then stops again.
When I use my Samsung Blu-ray player to play the same file from the NAS, it runs perfectly. I used this also with my BV10.
Both LAN adapters are connected to the same switch.
My dealer told me that this is a normal behavior for a BV11....excuse me!!!!!
So I am wondering what’s the experience with other BV11 owners and streaming MP4 files?
Please let me know.
Piet.

Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)
Tried the same MP4 file on a USB stick. It plays without any problem.
So processing capabilities for decoding seems not the problem.
Does anyone experience the same problem with the LAN adapter?
I have a 46 BV11 that's been happily streaming Internet and LAN video for years. In another location, I have a 55" too - and that's also been rock solid with Internet streamed delivery from iTunes & Netflix & iPlayer.
If all you say is true, and the same files via different inputs or via different device renderer, do not show thew same behaviour - then you may have a failing LAN port/ controller.
It's not common, but it's not unheard of either, and a network tester can usually spot them. Typically a failing LAN socket sprays bad packets out onto the network, as much as it mangles inbound traffic. A network sniffer should be able to spot the bad packets and by plugging/unplugging you can see if it's your BV11'a port that's the culprit. You can pick these up on the Bay for 20-30 quid.
Generally though, all the other ideas others have suggested in one form or another, are the more likely culprits - esp. if the files are acquired from anonymous sources, and their encoding is unverified.
Hope you get it sorted.
