Stuttering playback Samsung TV

[Joeri6 2]

Hey all,

I have an issue with stuttering playback for some media on the Samsung Tizen app. I am pretty sure my media is causing it but I can't pinpoint what exactly is causing it. every 4-5  seconds its stuttering and showing some pixels. In Emby server I see its using Direct Play. I tried to change the quality to 720p, tried to disable subtitles but the issue persists.

The same file plays perfectly fine on Ios/Android/Windows, just the Samsung app is the issue.

TV: Samsung Smart TV (UE55MU7070) with cabled internet to same switch as my server

Emby Tizen app: latest version

Emby server: latest version Ubuntu server (premiere with hardware transcoding)

Best if you provide some of the information here

But if it is Direct Playing, then it usually either the server or the network can't serve the file fast enough.  Emby server and the Samsung client don't actually do anything the the file, it is basically loaded directly into the Samsung player directly from the server.  Just check in Stats for Nerds in the settings during Playback that it is actually DirectPlaying
