I've recently been having some issues with buffering in Kodi for files that are on a USB drive that is plugged directly into the Minix box. Most recently I was watching an mkv file and, around an hour and 45 minutes into the file it froze for a minute and this circle appeared in the middle of the screen with numbers counting up to 100 and it took a good minute or so to get to 100 and then it finally started playing again.
I can understand this happening with streaming but this is a file on a flash drive plugged into the box so I can't imagine why it would do this.
I went to the home screen, did an "All Tasks Killer" then went back to that spot in the file and it played fine for a minute and then did the same thing. After one or two more times it finally played through to the end of the file but I'm a little concerned as I can't fathom how a locally stored file would need to buffer.
I've had the box for about a year now and have only ever played files off USB drives attached to it. I never stream and the only app I've added to the box since I got it is Tidal
