stuttering blu-ray

started with 2 2TB disk, filled them up and added 8tb, when that gets full ill replace 2tb drives with 8tb, 10+tb drives should be out by then
Only use for movies and music, the small drive is for 80gb drive is for downloads, files and pdf manuals.
Running jbod, iso on 3d_movies volume.
still trying to get readynas suveillance to work, it detects my camera but on liveview the active x NVSWebAll.cab fails to run as addon
never used mysql, doesn't show up in installed apps

Well 3D_Movies is on the Disk_1 which is 88%. Ideally the volume wouldn't be that full. If you can copy some of the videos off to another volume to say get Disk_1 under 80% or better yet under 70% full that would be good.

One of your disks is an 8TB archive disk. These are not designed for performance. The 4 GB OS partition is RAIDed across all the disks. So it is possible that the 8TB disk could be related to the stuttering.

I see one of your disks a WD 80GB disk has an ATA error count of 6 though that count hasn't increased since December last year.

You may wish to run the Disk Test boot menu option.

i know, i need to maybe move my itunes folder and cleanup some, 8tb seagate is faster than those wd nas drives except for write speed. Im just reading iso, mkv files anyway. ill run the boot menu option to run test disk(paper clip)?

7 hours to move data, will try again tomorrow after data moves

Yes. It will take some hours, so a good idea to run it when you won't need to use the NAS for a while.

Jumping into this discussion, earlier on you mentioned it played perfectly on a PC, did you actually stream from your RN to the PC? If so, that would mean the media player is the culprit...
I've seen similar issues, old media player stutters, even if it has a Gbit interface, in the end the bottleneck seems to be the Sigma or other chip in the media player

yes, perfect playback on pc, still waiting for data transfer to complete. Ive tried almost every media player, the a300 works best so far

Often its not a bottleneck btw.

A lot of media (particularly MKVs floating around) are not completely compliant to the H.264/AVC standard, or are damaged in some way. Media players use hardware decoders - often designed for set top boxes and bluray players, which only receive fully compliant bitstreams. Software decoders tend to handle out-of-spec media better than most of the hardware implementations.

custom chipset, designed for 4k. weird cause im only 1080

That doesn't change my assessment.

There are a lot of broken bitstreams floating around. Sometimes it's because errors creep in while it is distributed, and sometimes it's a bug in a freeware encoder. Sometimes it's because an end-user doesn't understand what the settings they are using do.

Chip manufacturers use compliance suites to test their chip sets. If they are given a bitstream that is not compliant, then bad results often occur. From their point of view, those bad results are not their problem.

It's usually easier to work around these problems if you have a software decoder.

Note I am not saying your particular problem is a bad bitstream (though it could be I guess). I am just responding to TonV's comment that stuttering is often due to a "bottleneck". I've seen clear evidence of performance bottlenecks with some early sigma chipsets years ago, but not recently.

I will make my own iso today, still waiting for data to finish transfering :(
