So I have a 9 gig Mkv that played perfectly on Eden, but on frodo it transcodes is an looks like shiz. And my 2 gig mkvs (1080p btw for both ). I'm in windows also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use MKV rips from my blu-ray collection all between 18GB - 50GB and they have all varying bitrates. I never compress my rips further. Usíng MakeMKV. Signature displays my HW setup. Streaming from my server over LAN. All runs smooth and consistent.
I guess you need to check your video / audio settings. There are differences from Eden to Frodo.

This causes the choppy/slow mo play of videos.Unfortunately the default settings for the new AudioEngine were chosen to provide the best quality output on a fully capable system with HDMI rather than ensuring greatest compatibility with the vast range of differing systems & setups people have, so it you haven't got a fully capable system problems can be encountered with Frodo meaning tweaking has to be done which is not good for the beginner.

This has been raised within the Team that the defaults should be aim to get every system working with at least some kind of audio to ensure the best experience the beginner, then the people who anal about their bit perfect passthrough & HD audio will generally understand the settings better & thus better able to tweak to their requirements.
