It might be a false alarm. I'm thinking the Video indexing is crushing the server so hard that it couldn't get authenticated to Spectrum for a pretty fair amount of time.
It seems to be working now, and I haven't done anything to make that happen.
Late last night I was doing some research to try to improve the Network speed in VirtualBox. Doing that research I noticed a comment by someone suggesting that Hyper V is probably enabled in Windows and that slows everything down. I nearly ignored the comment because my first thought was, that's a rookie mistake. Luckily I checked, and it was in deed enabled in Windows. I removed the Hyper V feature and the Ubuntu Server VM running Channels started operating at light speed. It's running on an older machine with a lessor processor and RAM in a VM and it's out performing my original direct install in Windows by 5 fold. I never realized how this also would affect the client performance. Channels on FireSticks feel so fast now. No lag doing anything.
I should have done this years ago!!!
Everything is working perfectly, thanks everyone for putting up with me, and giving me guidance!!!
