Anyone else experiencing this issue?Yep, I am also seeing micro stutter in Kodi. I'd only had the Shield TV Pro 2019 for a few weeks prior to the 8.2.3 update and it definitely wasn't an issue when I set up the box initially. Tested various files in Kodi and VLC - VLC plays without issue, Kodi doesn't. Can't comment on Apple TV as I don't subscribe. Surprised more people aren't reporting the same problem....
Stopped using the shield because the miro stutter is too annoying. Kodi, Discovery+, Disney plus play flawlessly on my Apple TV 4K (2021)
I've narrowed down the problem to using audio passthrough for DD/DTS on Kodi. The issue seems to be fairly random in that sometimes stutter will start within a few minutes of watching a file, sometimes it will be well over an hour before the stuttering begins. Rewinding / skipping backwards to re-watch the affected period of stuttering confirms it's not an issue with the file as it is quite often stutter free on a second view. Disabling passthrough and using the built in Kodi audio decoding does provide me with 5.1 PCM output which is good enough for my needs and provides a smooth playback experience. VLC appears to use an in-built audio decoder that also outputs as PCM hence why there were no issues when using this. So, not sure if this is a Kodi issue or a Shield issue. Anyone notice the same problem?
