possum1931 16075 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 My Lenovo Yoga520 it's the one that folds back into the shape of a tent, cuts out every so often when watching anything on my external hard drive, After it cuts out, I click on play and what I am watching goes back to the very beginning. It happens maybe about 4 times during 4hours viewing. Anyone one know what could be causing this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RedBackman 49 Posted May 18 Popular Post Share Posted May 18 You'll have to do some troubleshooting. First step you could just to transfer files onto your device before playing them for awhile to determine if the external HDD is the problem or use a different media player (like mpv) and see if that fixes things. If it seems like VLC is the problem just uninstall and remove userdata before reinstalling and that might fix the problem. VLC also has a logger under tools that should help shed some light on what is happening under the hood. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
