Hello,
I had stuttering problems hard to understand those times and I finally have a kind of explanation :
I notice that it stutters when Kodi upscales a streaming source, but not with local files (in that case everything works perfectly).
I'm able to get the video fluid by selecting the "bilinear" setting... but the quality is really degraded, compared to the default upscaler.
My config :
ooold iMac from 2009 (but still working well !)
Kodi 18.2
my streaming addons : Netflix, Catchup TV and More
setup : mirroring of screen with a videoprojector, in 1080p
I have stutters problem with the SD videos (1024x576 or so)
And the behavior of the stutters are different regarding the sources :
- in Netflix, a SD movie always stutters
- in Catchup TV and More, it's fluid in fullscreen but stutters when I zoom out the image
- I did test with the Youtube add-on, just to test, same behavior that Catchup TV and More
My question is :
I understand that maybe my setup is too old...
And maybe the computer doesn't have the time to use a good upscale, and it provokes stutters...
But in that case why does it work perfectly with local files ?
Would it be possible to increase a cache somewhere, so that Kodi would handle streaming video as well as local videos ?
If not possible, would it be able to setup a workaround, using advancedsetting.xml, to configure Kodi this way :
- with local files use default upscaler
- with streaming files use bilinear upscaler
Thanks !
And thanks to the Kodi team for that great great software
