I did some meticulous. Black box testing. I chopped the video file to different lengths using mencoder - ovc copy. It started having this problem right slightly above 1g bytes size.
I'm not sure if it's due to the buffering limitations on client ( I have been using bubbleupnp on phone to play ), I tried to use vlc as a new client on laptop to remove this possibility. But I couldn't figure out how to setup the codecs. Currently my vlc player doesn't recognize any of the video formats.
