I didn't have any issues playing 1080p SDR content but as I've recently bough a 4K (Philips OLED936) TV I've been playing as much 4K content via the Dune as possible and almost all at some point during payback experience a bout of stuttering several times at random points during playback and its got to the point where I'm going to have to abandon using it.
I can playback the same 4K content using TV's built in Media Player and Plex app without any issue, albeit they don't recognise the DolbyVision if in video track, just playing using HDR (Atmos is recognised).
The TV (which I can also connect with WiFi ac without issue) and Dune both connect using same ethernet to a NAS, so it can't be those. I've tried using Plex app on Dune but nothing at all plays with that.
Dune is on latest f/w.
I notice under the Android System Preferences there seems to be performance/network related settings but don't seem to make any difference.
Playback with less reserved buffers: disabled
Performance CPU mode: enabled
Under normal Video settings I have everything set to Auto (DV etc)
Under Playback Preferences , theres a HLS/Bandwidth: Auto (should this be set to high ?) again makes no difference.
So I don't know if it a basic Dune player issue or if it's the use of Dolby Vision that causing the stuttering?
Sometime I can "fix it" by stopping, waiting 30secs then playing again and it'll get past the stuttering, but you can imagine doing that a dozen times, is frustrating and impractical.
Either way, the family insists we never now use the Dune, which makes it not fit for purpose.
Has anybody had this stuttering or any suggestions ?
