I think that's possible, but I don't know where to begin in terms of
narrowing things down. Your list of upgraded packages is pretty big, but I
should think that only a handful are likely candidates.

The suggested patch mentioned earlier to improve buffer usage sounds like it
was more aimed at fixing an issue with particular MKV files, but please
someone correct me if I've misunderstood. The pauses I was getting have
definitely gone now that I have freed up enough disk space to prevent
auto-expire from needing to run all the time. If the buffering patch would
helped in my case, then it is only masking the underlying issue, which is
that something in the backend is starving the frontend of data.
