hello,
I wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem.
Content is downloaded through SABnzbd
Content is played via Plex Media Center on my PC - usually about 30-45 seconds from starting at the begining, Plex fails and backs out of the video. For this example let's say that this occurs at the 30 second mark. My current solution is to skip over the 30 second mark using the skip option.
Content played through VLC experiences a similar issue: it hangs up on the same spot that Plex backed out during, but VLC pushes through the hangup with only a 4 second delay mycoles.
Content played through Plex Android App backs out just like with the Plex Media Center on the PC.
The specific example that I tested these with was using an .mkv file. However I've tested this with .avi files and the same issue occurs.
I've determined that this has to do with SABnzbd because the files have these same problems across multiple computers and devices. I'm currently using astraweb as my provider.I've changed the name of the content in order to avoid breaking rule #1.

What version of SABnzbd are you using?
What kind of NZB's are you downloading? Do they contain seperate rar-files or is it just 1 video-file inside them?
You can see that by hovering over the job name and clicking the folder icon to see the contents of the job.
