I own a D54250WYK since one month. When playing movies (1080p mkv's) I notice slight stuttering. Other people don't notice it, but I do. When I compare the smoothness of video playing with the Boxee I used before, then my upgrade was not really an upgrade.

My setup: I hooked up the NUC with HDMI to a Yamaha YSP-3300 soundbar (7.1 and capable of all passthrough options). The soundbar is connected to my TV (Philips 46PFL8008). My movies/tv shows reside at a Synology DS213+. Wired connection. (connection is not the issue: the Boxee works fine) All new gadgets.

I use the Openelec nightly builds (Generic.x86_64-devel-20131212104328-r16530 at the moment) with Aeon MQ5. I performed all kinds of different settings to get rid of the problem:

- enable / disable VAAPI
- enable / disable audio passthrough
- "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" enabled / disabled
- sync video to audio -> tried all different settings
- different refresh rates (currently @ 60fps)
- accessing NAS via smb and NFS (currently NFS)

Everything I bought should be up to the task, but I can't seem to get rid of the mini-stuttering. Anyone got suggestions which settings are optimal in my situation? Or maybe suggestions how to tackle the problem? What can I do to determine the source of my problem?
