Have 2 new Google Pixel Tablets and I’m running into choppy video playback of quite a bit of 1080p HEVC content. Funny thing is I can play a 4K much higher bitrate version of the same movie without issues. Both are Direct Playing, so no transcoding/conversion involved.
Edited to add: Looks like I get the same stuttering when playing the same videos using the web version (both in Chrome and Edge).
