There is no xvid video playing in your log, but 720x404 video playing at 3840x2160@60 hz. Does it also stutter if you change the resolution before hand to 1920x1080?

Hah, I can’t believe that was it. Thanks Fritsch!    

Could you please play it again a bit longer with 3840x2160 with debug loggin enabled? Then after 2 minutes press some button on the keyboard and enable the OSD? We want to understand what happens, e.g. what is stuck / too slow.  

 I used advancedsettings to enable debug without the overlay. If I switch on debug logging in the GUI it adds an overlay which mitigates it.

I would be interested to learn why the overlay makes a difference. I see similar behaviour with netflix and amazon addons regardless of setting 1920/1080 resolution in GUI.
