Do you have remove commercials feature enabled? I have had issues with the built in comskip causing stuttering in the post-processed file on my setup. I’m running the 1.16 version, haven’t upgraded to 1.17 or the 1.18 beta yet to see about impact.
You aren’t the only one experiencing this with 1.18. I’ve got a thread here on this problem, and a number of others have reported the issue as well. Rolling back to the latest public release (1.17) fixed this for me.
argh - I have 1.17.0.1841. (right after 1709 I think). Wasn’t 1841 the one that broke the permissions though so things wouldn’t start? (or did that come later?)
Can we download these earlier versions from Plex or somewhere else?
Also, reading forums it sounds to me like the stuttering/jitters should be fixed already. Should I create a post about my case? Or from your reading does it sound to you like they are aware that there is still a problem somewhere?
