MP3s interuptions over LAN in Versions 3.xx

Hi there,

since a few days I recognized that VLC stops playing MP3s over LAN (Diskstation) after a few seconds - then the Cache loads again and the player continues playing the file. Problem occurs on every MP3 (not recognized with WMA, OGG or video files). Other players like Windows Media Player work fine. Also no problems with local MP3 files.

After taking a look at the error messages within VLS it looks like the player buffers a few seconds and after the buffered bytes are played it buffers the next few seconds but to my opinion it should buffer all the way through while playing the song.

I deinstalled/installed VLC already resetting all settings and clearing cache - no improvements. Also setting the network cache to a higher value does not solve the problem (player only paused after a longer time).
Problem does not occour with version 2.23.

Can anyone help me?

Sorry this is not the cause of my problem. Any other ideas?
Problem can be reproduced with other Notebooks. Same problem (with same logentry) was described in this thread.
Debug-log shows error message: "ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late"
