• VLC version 3.0.8 Vetinari (3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7)
• Platform: Windows 10 Pro vers. 10.0.18362 Build 18362
• Scenario: Playing audio file over wired local network, from a NAS hosting a SMB service.
• Formats tested: mp3 and FLAC (FLAC example in log).
• Error received:

  Code: Select all

  main error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to <n> ms)

• Effect: Stuttering and rebuffering every couple of seconds making listening to audio unreasonable.
  
  NB,
• Video, even 1080p seems to play fine off of the same SMB share (with the same VLC version).
• Other media players playback the files flawlessly.
• The error was reproducible in the Win64 vlc-3.0.9-20200107-0513 nightly build.
• The error was not reproducible in the vlc-4.0.0-20200107-0832 nightly build - in fact playing back flawlessly.
