I’ve had my Vero 4K+ for some time and never really had any stutter/freeze issues until now.
Last night I wanted to watch Home Before Dark - S01E01 - [2160p WEB h265][GHOSTS].mkv

During playback it would just freeze the video while the audio continued. The progress bar in Kodi still showed a healty buffer.
I did try to play the video on my laptop and it does not hang in the same places as the Vero so it does not appear to be part of the actual video.
I play 2160P Bluray Remux of Movies without issue but this file just freezes
For instance just watched this one without a single freeze or stutter
