Soundchasr 10 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 While watching this movie the camera panning wasn't smooth. It sort of stuttered. I copied the stats for nerds but not sure what to do. Thanks for any tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice the item you were playing was at 24fps. Does your display have a 24 or 48hz mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundchasr 10 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Thanks for the replies. My bad for posting this right before Xmas. I'm running around doing holiday stuff so I probably won't be able to explore this for a few more days. Regarding the display, we're using this projector: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-fy1fakKy6lE/p_158W5000ES/Sony-VPL-XW5000ES-Black.html However, when I did the stats for nerds screenshot I was just playing it on my computer. I have to do it with the projector and Roku when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundchasr 10 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 @Luke Attached is the log file from today. I watched the relevant portion and then attempted to fix the playback issue. 1.jpg is before attempting playback fix. 2.jpg is after. I tried one last time and then got an error that there were no supported files. Thanks! embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Hi. What mode is your display in? The example you posted before was a 24fps video. If your display is in 30 or 60hz mode, what you are going to see is exactly what you described - stuttering in panning scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundchasr 10 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 @ebr Ignore my original post stats. That was when I was watching it on my computer which isn't relevant. The issue occurs when I watch with the projector and roku. See my post from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the framerate of the video, and more importantly what is your projector's playback refresh mode? Check your media files framerate at the bottom on the details page: and then look to see if you can pull up the projectors OSD while something is playing, it should show its current display mode. Ultimately, you want your projector to match the framerate of the media being played ideally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundchasr 10 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Here is the video info from Emby and the info I was able to pull from the projector. I wasn't able to find much in the projector settings. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yep, the projector is running at 60hz and the video is at 24. Since those are not evenly divisible by each other, you end up with some frames having to be repeated by the display - resulting in the judder you are seeing. See if your projector has a 24 or 48hz display setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundchasr 10 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Sony Community support and AVS forums are saying that it isn't something I can change, that it's automatic. Not sure what to do now. I haven't found anything in the manual that helps other than the list above but there's no way to choose.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Soundchasr 10 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted December 29, 2022 Looks like I found a solution - in the Roku, advanced display settings - changed to auto-adjust display refresh rate. Seems to have fixed it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
