That played fine so I think the network part of things is okay. I have slow internet but decent local Wi-Fi. I just did a test holding my phone by the X800M2 and got about 400Mbps to my local server.

and which movie did you try ? i can try too
Thank you, that's very kind. If you have the titles handy I'd be curious to know if they work for you.
The ones that aren't working for me are:
Dune (2021): fails at about 0:03:06 just after Chani says "why did the emperor choose this path, and who will our next oppressors be?". playback freezes, but the player remains responsive
Back to the Future: fails at about 0:00:28 and player skips to next file in directory
Back to the Future Part II: fails at about 0:08:06 and shortly afterwards (not immediately) the player locks up
I also tried Black Panther and The Matrix and didn't have any problems with those, but I only played a few minutes of each so can't confirm they were definitely working.
After I posted last night I decided to try converting some P8.1 hybrid rips, and those were much more successful. I played one movie (Luca) all the way through with no problems at all, and played about 30 minutes of another (Rogue One) with no problems either. So it looks like it might be the ST-DL to DT-DL conversion that is causing problems for me.
I went to re-rip my Dune disc today and discovered that my drive is now failing
So I've ordered another and will resume experimenting in a couple of days
