Stuttering playback on LG TV from Emby on Docker

I've just migrated my NAS server from FreeNAS to Ubuntu and I also moved my Emby instance into a Docker container (using a fresh setup because I stupidly lost my backups). I've made no hardware changes to the server box.

 

I own an LG TV and when running Emby on FreeNAS, I saw very smooth playback of all my media. Now, running on Docker, playback stops every 3 or 4 seconds for about 2 seconds (as if the transcoding of the media is slow). Playback from Chrome browser on Windows seems unaffected.

 

This is the command I used to start the container. I made sure that group 44 is the owner of the render device. 

 

docker run \
    -d \
    -v /nas-main-vol/confs/emby:/config \
    -v /nas-main-vol/media:/media \
    --device /dev/dri/renderD128 \
    --publish 8096:8096 \
    --env GIDLIST=44 emby/embyserver:latest
 
I've also made sure to test the Emby Transcoding configuration using Intel QuickSync and VAAPI. 
 
Any suggestion on how to at least find out why playback is stuttering?
 
Thanks
