Wonder if it was the resolution, or the bitrate that made it choke.
300 Mbps is as high as I can get with H264 and my current encoder. I did a HEVC encode at 350 Mbps and Kodi/Shield played that one with no issues, but it started dropping frames with a 400(ish) Mbps file; 'looked like it'd drop frames when the bitrate was over 365 Mbps. That was streaming across my network, tho... so I can't be sure that it wasn't a network related thing. Either way, 350 Mbps is pretty nuts!
