I've been getting stuttering when playing my MKV files in Kodi and MPC-HC. Also today I've been getting slow motion/no audio and then buffering messages while playing a movie in Kodi at around the 45-minute mark and when I replay the same part the buffering is gone but about 10 seconds after that part the slow motion/no audio then buffering message problem happens again. I tested out my blu-ray disc I ripped from and that part of the movie plays fine on the disc. I also checked the fragmentation of my WD Passport and it's 66% fragmented. I also have my Steam\Origin game backups on it. I tried Openelec from a USB flash drive and still I get the occasional stutter when playing an MKV file off my WD Passport. So I ruled out an OS issue. Can the cause of that my hard drive is too fragmented? Or something wrong with my WD Passport?
