Correct. The point is ...... the OP is comparing apples to oranges. He can play high bitrate HEVC but not high bit rate HEVC UHD HDR. I'm simply pointing out HEVC is not a problem. HDR is. While the HDR is rendering, Kodi is not reading metadata and switching the display into HDR mode. I assume he figures even so, why is it stuttering, which is a pretty good question. Afaik, it should render without stuttering even though it's not decoding and displaying HDR. Perhaps there is a conflict in the internal videoplayer causing this issue seeing as we know high bitrate UHD is not an issue.
*EDIT* Just tried an HEVC HDR. No stumbles from a 4GB GTX 960. Very smooth, but not in HDR of course. That would mean no conflicts in the internal videoplayer. Just no HDR decoding. No idea why it would stutter for the OP other than the 1030 is what ..... 2GB? Doubt that memory difference is the problem. I think it's system specific like perhaps GPU settings in the control panel or maybe even codec conflicts somewhere depending. Not enough input to draw any rational conclusions.
