4k 24.000 fps file on Apple TV 4K extremely choppy

lol I spent an hour on that scanner error, repaired my database, then started a new topic


Frame by Frame Analysis:
Given a 24fps 4K HEVC stuttering film cut down to the first 30sec,
I thought I would post a bitrate graph I made. The bitrate inspection script records the number of bytes in every frame, then graphs that. It uses ffprobe and runs at 32fps off an NVME.

The HEVC was listed as Main 10@L5@Main by mediainfo.
That specification supports 4K30fps with 25 Mbps peaks according to wikipedia
This video is 4K24 with the following peaks:

which is interesting; however the Jellyfish 140Mbps is much greater than 24 Mbps, and it plays.

This is about where my knowledge is capped atm.
