Hi.

I recently started using plex for kodi largely for things that require subs. I.e. anime. I’m having a bit of an issue with some videos though being extremely stutter whilst being played through kodi plex. There is no transcoding taking place on my server.

I have videos encoded as below play fine

VIDEO : AVC / 1920 x 1080 / 16:9 / 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS / 8 bits / 6288kb/s / High@L4 / Progressive  
AUDIO 1 : AAC LC / 2.0ch / 128kb/s

And this does not

Video  
Format : AVC  
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec  
Format profile : High 10@L5.1  
Duration : 23mn 35s  
Width : 1 920 pixels  
Height : 1 080 pixels  
Display aspect ratio : 16:9  
Frame rate mode : Constant  
Frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) fps  
Color space : YUV  
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0  
Bit depth : 10 bits  
Scan type : Progressive  
Writing library : x264 core 125 r2200+677M 3a754e7

Audio  
Format : FLAC  
Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec  
Duration : 23mn 35s  
Bit rate mode : Variable  
Channel(s) : 2 channels  
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz  
Bit depth : 24 bits  
Title : [FLAC 2.0]

Both ASS subs

I’m using kodi 18.3 installed on a 4k firestick with whatever the latest version of Plex is from the kodi repo

Both videos play fine on the Plex app installed direct on the stick, the video/audio is fine. Is there something obvious I’m doing wrong or missing. I’ve been attempting to Google around and I’m going nuts.

I can play on Plex on my firestick with the subtitles set to image only, however this doesn’t work too well with any embedded so miss out on stuff
