MacOS - Stutter on new Player / None on PMP

PMS 1.24.0.1483-714cba36
Macbook Pro late 2013
Mac OS 11.0.1
16gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
SSD
Server: Synology DS920+

Same problem, occurs most with HEVC but I see it with virtually any video file. Happening currently with a 480p H.264 MKV. this file is only 600mb, and this does not occur if played directly with IINA. I can not recall when this began but I don’t remember it happening prior to a few months ago- possibly around the time I upgraded to Catalina, which I have since upgraded to Big Sur. Problem seems to be alleviated by a restart but it will return after a short time (read: less than 24 hours)

Edit:
I have just downloaded the most recent version of PMP from May 26, 2020 (4.29.2) from Plex Media Player and this issue is not present. Appears to only affect the new player. I have hardware acceleration enabled on both
