got an issue that developed today. my server has network drives shared and the win10 pc i use can access the folder and see files and copy them over to local drive straight away, however if i want to play a video file mediaplayer classic-be hangs for 30-40 seconds before actual playback begins. once playing i can seek in the video instantly. playing a different video results in same delay.
now if the video file is not in the root of the shared drive but in a sub folder then playback is instant with no start up delay. whats going on?
