OS and Box: The Android box I’m using is an Onn 4k (v1) with Android TV OS version 12.
Debug Log: qedawimuzi (paste)
Issue: Last night the Google Play Store pushed Nexus v21.0. 4k movie files now stutter within a few minutes of playing. If I attempt to skip any amount of time, it will immediately enter the stuttering playback. It is worse than stuttering – basically the video freezes and then, in some instances, it will start back up but for less than a second before refreezing. Sometimes a bit longer. It never recovers.
Sometimes the caching logo comes up but never climbs about 5. It is now unusable for 4k files. I’m streaming from a Windows 10 machine via SMB.
It may also be worth noting that Kodi has crashed a few times – I’ve never previously had it crash.
Playback of 1080p files does not exhibit this problem.
Other than the new update, I have not made any changes to Kodi. I tried playing the exact file that I watched without issue last week (which was also the last time I used Kodi) and the stuttering occurred there. I am also able to play these files with no issue on the Onn box using a non-Kodi player. It is clearly something with Omega. My Onn box has not received any updates since I last used Kodi with no issues (prior to the Omega update).
I made various changes to SMB chunk and cache sizes, and other suggestions I read on these forums for stuttering, and none of them resolved the issue.
Thank you for your assistance. I see that several others have reported this issue recently so figured I would also upload a debug log in hopes this can be resolved.
