Internet is fine as I told you it plays fine with Videoplayer (100Mbps Fibre to the home).
The streams that I am trying to play are the HDR launch playlist from youtube. Streams smoothly with Videoplayer but looks washed out as it does not handle HDR at all on Krypton, DSPlayer plays it correctly with HDR passthru to the TV but stutters as it does not use the network cache. So if DSPlayer by nature won't use cache, then so be it

Check this guide, to change how LAV Filters use cache.

It mentions MPC-HC but LAV is used by DSPlayer too, there's nothing actually related to MPC-HC in the guide. Just LAV modifications.

Edit: it looks like now those things are configurable directly through LAV Splitter control panel: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p...ost1865523
