Any suggestions?

Just tried this among many other changes and still having buffering freezing issues. I have an official kodi build (18.9 I think) playing HDR files absolutely fine, I can scrub through to any point and instant playback with no issues. Unfortunately this DV build is just not fully working, it often freezes, then speeds up with audio catch up, you cannot scrub without immense freezing, and sometimes buffering, literally unusable at the moment. I thought it might be a network issue as I am currently using 5ghz wifi to connect my Kodi to my router/server but that is getting around 250mbps throughput (according to iperf3) which should be ample.
I'm a member of another forum that someone mentioned that after update 8.0 he would sell his nvidia shield tv pro because it was just impossible to use.
We were chatting and I could not understand how bad his experience was when I develop for the shield box, compiled apks and installed it, probably more than 100 times and my experience is outstanding.
I'm also pushing it really hard since my rclone webdav mount is sharing a very extensive library that only google drive could host.
I, like many others here have absolute no complains about Kodi, DV and the shield.
I have no idea if the latest firmware broke something for some.
But if you look at this thread, all the problems with the nvidia shield had the same root: wrong settings somewhere.
Or, getting the wrong apk and saying that DV doesn't work.
I would understand this if we were talking about PC, that has some many variables but with a closed box like the shield using the same software, there must be something breaking it.
The latest release has almost 300 downloads according to github stars. I don't think so many have a broken experience.
If you are able to figure out what's going on, please, let us know.
Also, look at some smb performance, try to serve the files using NFS.
There's so much that changed from Leia 18.9 to Matrix latest that it would be really hard to pin point what is causing this on a particular setup.
