latency problem bits dropped with music playback over network VLC version 3.0.18
Upgraded to the latest VLC 3.0.18 and noticed that music (FLAC/WAV) played over my home network server now skips. This was controlled in previous versions with "Higher Latency" selected under the Default caching policy setting (Preferences --> Input/Codecs --> Network). It seems that not only does 3.0.18 have a bigger problem managing latency in its default mode, it also ignores any latency setting chosen to correct dropped bits. Music playback on a Windows 10 Core i5-6th gen w/ 32GB RAM. Music stored on a W10 laptop server w/ only fast ethernet.
I installed VLC 3.0.12 and this so far fixes the problem.
