Very weird Playback Issue

[croaton 9]

On Tizen 2018 i have a very weird Play on some Movies

Panel and Logs always shows direct Play but Picture is Stuttering like as they is encoding, but it's Direct Play

On Plex it run's fine, but on the Fly remux to mp4 (maybe this info helps)

Samsung Smart TV (UE75MU7009)

Log & Mediainfo attached

Regards

That will be the problem.  The internal player has issues with too many tracks.  More than about 25 will usually cause issues.  The recommendation is to remove some of the internal tracks.  If it's an MKV file, try MkvToolnix and only select the audio and subtitle tracks that you require.

Ok, but Subtitles are disabled by default to play, but give it a shot

It doesn't really matter because you can only play one too.  It's how many tracks are in the file which the Tizen player can't seem to handle.  I'm guessing Plex is remuxing and removing all but maybe one to get around this.

Let us know what you find, but I get this too and I've gotten to the point where I just remove all the unwanted subtitles on everything.

I would recommend learning how to use mkvtoolnix. Google "mkvtoolnix" 

"Handbrake" is another tool that can help you but mkvtoolnix is easier and more straightforward. 

It will allow you to delete the extra stuff in the file container. Extremely useful! You can free up HUUUUUUUGE amounts of space deleting foreign language or extra/unnecessary tracks.

Will fix your specific issue because it will lower the track limit to just

-1Video

-1Audio

-1Subtitle

We are checking on this, with default forced subtitle set on (including the tons of subtitles), it plays normal, very weird, elaborate more in this Week.

The only issue with Handbrake is that it will convert the video track, which you probaly don't want.  There is no way with Handbrake to just copy the video track.

MkvToolnix will just copy the tracks to a new container, so it is as quick as you can write to disk, and no loss of quality, DV, etc

it's even easier via cli on ffmpeg per mapping what you want to keep, mkvtoolnix is more for not so much nerds ;D
