Best to start a new thread rather than clutter this one. Frontend log from start up (start FE with "-v playback" logging) , play file for 30 sec then shutdown should be sufficient. Also include details of hardware (particularly type of graphics) and whether any remote FE are wired or wireless network. Worth also checking you have correct drivers installed for your hardware and also top during playback to see whether your CPU is running at 100%.
