How I solved choppy video

My hardware is an Intel NUC based on the Core i3-3217U with Ivybridge Mobile GFX

I noticed slightly choppy video once I upgraded to Kodi 17. It’s very noticeable when you have text crawling across the bottom of the screen.

As an experiment I disconnected my 10/100 ethernet connection and started using my WiFi on the 5Ghz connection. Choppy video is now gone.

Not sure if this is a sign of networking issues in my house or what, but it’s solved now.
