So I tend to use the Social Network blu-ray (ripped to MKV with makeMKV) to torture test players, mainly using the slow panning shot that starts at 5:32. On the latest build (1.19, 7339), there is significant stuttering during this scene. Even before this scene though, though, there are weird artifacts that look like macro-blocking with fast movement (like when Zuckerburg gets up out of his chair in the cafe). Per PMS, the video is being direct played, but the audio is being transcoded to AC3. This problem is not unique to the beta though; it’s also in the non-beta build (maybe I should post over in that forum?). The same file plays back perfectly fine in Infuse. This is on the tvOS 11.2 beta (although I had the same issue on 11.1).
