Philips Android TV stuttering and lagging

Hi guys,

There’s something wrong with Kodi 16 and 17 combined with the latest update from Philips for 43PUS6501 (Android 6.0.1 from January 23), there is a lot of stuttering and buffering going on when playing from SMB and DLNA (serviio). Previously I was able to play 4K 70Mbps H265 content easily, now literally nothing is viewable.

The Philips provided Media player app, works a little better but still stutters on 4K content. I believe something is wrong with this new Philips update and everybody is affected and I can’t revert back. But Kodi seems like the most affected one. It might be because of some poor WiFi drivers in the new update.

Let me know if I can help with something.

Best regards,
Lucian
