Microstutters
#1
This past month or so, I've been replacing all of my equipment. I use to have an old Core2Quad PC running OpenElec on a 10yr old Sony Bravia, and then switched to a Beelink android box with CoreElec with my hard drives in a NAS setup (WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra).

Got it all sorted and running, then yesterday the TV was replace with TCL 6-series 55".

Played with some settings, image was too sharp and clear, everything looked like shot with a camcorder and ghosting. Switched that and everything looks good, except some videos tend to microstutter. Not size related either. I have a single MKV file, X265, 10-bit, 4K, around 50GB of Infinity Wars and seems stutter free. I'll grab an x265 1080p around 4000kbps (3.5GB) and microstutter.

So many settings, not sure where to start... any ideas?

I am running off ethernet, gigabit router with Cat6e ethernet cables. NAS is about 3 feet away as is the router so, ethernet from NAS-Router-Beelink.

For specific video issues, I think it's better to directly contact CoreELEC's forum. They do their own tweaks and twists on their builds.

Hopefully someone knows... very odd because didn't occur on the Sony... but then again, maybe because jumping from a 40" to 55" it's just that it's now bigger and easier to see the issue? that or something to do with resolution/refresh settings in Kodi/Core.

After a while I noticed that the stutters seemed to be sub related... there was a nightly update to fix the sub stutter and well, must've been the issue because been off with a cold the past couple days and watched a LOT of TV and no stutters.
