Video Playback Puzzle

I'm sure someone has the missing piece of this puzzle.

A friend comes over with movies on a drive, mixed bag, various formats and sources. Connect to HP laptop with Win10 & JRiver 22 and everything plays just fine. Take the same drive and connect it to my PC based music server running WS2012R2, JRiver 22, much better/faster hardware and the same video is cubed/pixelated in areas. Take the same movies and cast them from laptop to server and they play fine.

The same music server has its own connected drive / library of video ripped on its own optical drive (some straight rips, some with DVDFab) and all play fine. So what is the missing piece here? I assume I am missing some sort of driver or program on the music server as both JRiver & VLC have the same problem on the music server or maybe a service is turned off?  But everything plays fine on JRiver or windows media player or Power Player on the laptop with win10.

What the heck?!

Try switching the video settings in MC between Red October Standard and Red October HQ.

Make sure you have the most recent build of MC installed.  It's at the top of the MC22 board.

I did both, no difference. After one or two seconds the middle of the screen starts to cube up, then it waffles back and forth.

Maybe the connection from computer to portable drive is the bottleneck.  Maybe the laptop has USB3 while the "server" has USB2?  Maybe there's a driver issue that's making access to the portable drive "slow" on the server, but not on the laptop?

JimH:
Or antivirus software.
