Juddering mkv playback Windows



Hi,

I’ve a weird occurrence when playing some MKV’s in windows 11.

Kodi can play back all my other mkv’s.

I can play these files using VLC for Windows without any hitch.

Now here’s the weird thing.

I can play back these mkv’s via upnp on Kodi for android.

I’m guessing there’s some issue with Kodi for Windows?

Doesn’t like the files for some reason?

These mkv’s were ripped from my own dvd collection. So they were vobs in mpeg2 ac3 audio converted to mkv.

They start to play, then judder, skip and freeze.

This can’t be hardware related as they play fine using VLC on Windows and on Android.

I’ve run extensive disk checking utilities and there’s no issues with the HDD.

The files are about 950mb so it’s not like they are huge files either.

I converted one to MP4 and it worked but I’d sooner not re-encode the mkv’s as it’s about 30 episodes and will take an age.

Any ideas what could be the issue?

I’ve tried running them through mkvtoolnix but it doesn’t make a difference.

Cheers
