Local USB thunb drives on RPi solid and never a problem. Can play files for literally hours from W10 server without problems, then suddenly severe stuttering. Some days can't play files on server at all without sever stuttering. Increased buffer - problem persists. High res files tend to be worse than 16/44.1 . Router problem or server problem? How can I determine? Do I need to have a Linux server? New router?
The symptom
"Can play files for literally hours from W10 server without problems, then suddenly severe stuttering. Some days can't play files on server at all without sever stuttering."
suggests something external to moOde software or Samba settings.
One way to try and isolate the problem is to run a 30 sec ping test from the Pi to your Windows server when the issue occurs and then examine the ping stats for anything unusual like excessive retries, high number of dropped packets, etc.
You can also dump network stats by running the commands below on the Pi
ifconfig
iwconfig
or you can open the moOde Network config screen and note the quality and signal level.
