Hi all,
o̶h̶ ̶n̶o̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶
I am experiencing stuttering video and I am willing to be there is a setting missing to stop this from happening. Pretty sure this has only started happening since I did fresh installs on all my devices to move them all back to v18 - long story. So I may have (years back) enabled a setting to avoid this problem, but I can’t figure out what it would have been.
OSMC “appears” to be dropping a frame every few seconds, to my eye at least. What’s the best way to go around finding the issue?
Here’s a mediainfo dump from the file.
I’ve got logs from the network issue that ruined my day yesterday, here that should show my setup: https://paste.osmc.tv/osoqamuwer
