Hi all,
I’m experiencing a problem with certain video files were the video freezes for a second or two and the audio continues. The video then continues without problems and in sync.
So far this hasn’t happend with HD (720p and 1080p) videos and neither with 4k videos. It has only happened with lower res videos. At the end of this post you can find the media info of one of these files.
TS I’ve done so far:
turn off / on whitelist
turn off / on allow 3:2 pulldown refresh rates
turn off / on allow double refresh rates
Play file locally from USB HDD
Non if this worked, but turning off hardware acceleration did the trick. I’m not sure if turning off hardware acceleration should be the solution.
Here if a log of when the freezing occurs. I stopped the video immediately after it happened.
