I have suttering/lag issues when playing videos on my Vero 4k+. I have noticed this usually only happens with anime .mkv files that are high quality (4gb+ for 25min episode), but I could be wrong. The files play fine on my Windows/Ubuntu machine by using VLC, but stutter and make my Vero 4k+ unresponsive and even crash sometimes (can’t reproduce though, very rarely happens).
I’ve enabled debug logging and rebooted the device twice, then started playing my sample video file for 2 minutes, then grabbed these logs:
