Live TV Freezing

My mother is having issues with her live tv stream constantly buffering on her Google Chromecast with remote. I've attached the associated logs for the stream. Is there something happening on the server end or is it client-related? Streaming from her laptop doesn't seem to freeze. Only seems to freeze on chromecast.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. FFMPEG seems to be maxing out my CPU instead of utilizing my GPU for transcoding if I'm reading this correctly and I can't figure out why. 

I've attached my server log and the ffmpeg logs for two of the streams I saw in htop.

The attached ffmpeg logs are from a video file, not live tv.

I forgot that the original issue was live tv specific. She has admitted it happens for both live tv and regular tv. I probably should have made this a new post.

It seems like items are software transcoding instead of hardware transcoding if I'm reviewing this correctly.

Currently those do not display the reason for that, but the ffmpeg log may shed some light on that.

For starters, burning in subtitles in the first example is probably the reason.

The ffmpeg-transcode-7eb61c9a log from the first post corresponds with the Harry Potter example I shared from my dashboard

OK i think this may be resolved in the upcoming 4.8 server release. Thanks.
