EAC3 passthrough doesn’t work either, with Infuse it does… I already have a Plex server and Jellyfin running at the same time. I just hope to get a little more used to Jellyfin so I can completely eliminate Plex from my life.
Unfortunately, I’ve also been experiencing this stuttering since the last update on macOS 26. I’m running Plex on a dedicated server in the OVH data center with sufficient resources: 64 GB RAM, AMD EPIC CPU with enough cores.
Unfortunately, the app often stutters on Mac. I’m using a MacBook Pro M1 Max with 64 GB RAM, 10-core CPU, and 32-core GPU.
I hope you release an update soon that solves the problem. It’s really no fun at the moment. I’m thinking about switching to Jelifin.
I have everything connected via 1GBE and use fiber optics.
I had similar problems with the same spec macbook pro. I found it helped by turning off hardware acceleration. It seemed to stop my periodical stuttering. Maybe worth a shot unless you have already tried doing that.
