I have no issue with playing the videos on my Ubuntu OS the Ubuntu OS is hosting the videos and the windows 7 machine streams them from the Ubuntu OS. Caffeine was just to keep my computer awake. It cannot be codec related as when my laptop shares the videos from windows 10 there is none of these issues. Playing videos on Ubuntu is 100% fine.

I'm currently dual booting my Asus X550JX laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Windows 10. The PC that is streaming the content from my laptop is running Windows 7. When my X550 is booted into Windows I can stream all my content without a hitch; this tells me it cannot be hardware related and it has to be some setting in my Ubuntu. I have installed caffeine to ensure my laptop does not go to sleep or turn off the screen when I need it to. The problem when sharing from my Ubuntu is that it will stream a movie or series for a few minutes (usually 10minutes+) then it will stop the video. When I play the video and go to the same place where I was it will stop the video again. The only way to watch the whole video is to skip past the point in the video where it "stops". Another problem is that it buffers which it never does when my laptop is booted to Windows. I have also tried different media players on my media machine but that does not seem to solve this problem. All my videos are saved on my Windows partition that I have mounted at start up to give me ownership on the drive in order to share the folder over samba. This is the line I added into /etc/fstab /dev/sda4 /mnt/OS auto user,exec,uid=slugger,gid=slugger,x-gvfs-show,umask=002 0 2 in /etc/samba/smb.conf [Videos] path = /mnt/OS/Users/Slugger7/Videos available = yes valid users = slugger read only = no browsable = yes public = yes writeable = no I have thought about spin down time of my hard drive but I have no idea on how to change that or to test if it could actually be that. I have noticed that when I am working on my Ubuntu then it does not cause problems. Any ideas welcome.

Well silence is great and my psu is loud So it will have to be the EDG750 PSU

Well personally I have been using PlayerPro music player for years now and it works great.

So I also just got my HTC One M8 and my brother and father that have had theirs for quite some time now said that their photos are coming out cloudy. Apparently you can send the phone back to HTC and they will send you a new one but then if you break your phone's screen it will not be covered in the 6 month warranty. Then I came across this on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/26piln/psa_if_your_htc_one_m8_has_a_scratched_camera/ What are your guys thoughts on this method of cleaning the film or grease build up off of the lense? Is there a better/safer way to do this?
