on my 43W800C i notice when playing videos streamed from my PC Lan its now CPU0 90-100% CPU1 0%.
used to be both cores share the load 40-60% on the two cores.
is this a TV problem or kodi 17.3 issue? did a reset, reinstall app. i only have 2 add-on installed. TV only has 3 downloaded apps installed.
i dont think its because I updated the TV to 6.0.1 a month ago.

Is there a software like Kodi?
Hi friends, I love Kodi but I regret because I have to leave Kodi and to use another difefferent software. In fact I am using a new camera to make documentaries and Kodi doesn't work. I think the file is too much heavy for Kodi. Now I make UHD 50p 150Mbps. I have a Sony Bravia 65" with 3-4 software and every softare reads those files perfectly but Kodi reads them in not fluid way and jerky. I don't watch TV with Kodi, I watch only my documentaries. Now I tell you what is important for me:
I have many documentaries in a HDD and Kodi put all the titles in a row on one page (screen).
This is the most important thing for me. I need a software that reads UHD well and that shows all the titles of my UHD documentaries. Thanks for some info.

whoopn is probably correct. The Sony does stutter with high resolution UHD files, no matter what player you use. I use Kodi on my Sony Television (Actually SPMC) and when I want to play a UHD file, I invoke a different video player through Kodi. I use either the Sony internal video player, MX player (not pro) or the Kodi internal player (does not like HVEC).
My UHD files must be played off USB attached to the television. Network will not handle high res either. I find the Sony internal player to be the best.
I like Kodi as it keeps track of all my files, movies and shows in a nice little library.

Ok I tested.
AppleTV 4k:
Played all files but definitely had some stuttering in buffering or something, not network related, like perhaps loading its own system RAM. I didn't really mess with too many settings.
The appletv can play the 400Mbps file just as well as the lower bitrate ones but that buffer like issue would be a reason to stay away.
My HTPC (i3-6100t/GTX950)
The only stutter was it changing the 4k to 1080p (happens on all 4k files of mine, I think its the 950's fault, a 1050ti would fix it right up I'm sure). It played all files without issue, even that 400MBps one.
Note, I never had network streaming issues as I use ethernet (1Gb) and my NAS is capable of saturating the line (113MB/s) sustained for as long as you need it to.
So in conclusion I think you should invest in a small, inexpensive HTPC. Put windows on it and install the kodi app from the MS store. Super easy to maintain and share your files to you and would let you use it for other things like gaming if you wanted.

That is not a Kodi question.
