Well I'm using MC in audio only mode. I'm using Plex on Nvidia Shield Pro for video.

Thanks... I have not actually tried to find out if the Video Play is released. It seems to work though. I have forced a re-coding at the server to 470p, but the same stuttering. Since PLEX works I guess that the processing power is sufficient and that video playback is not finished yet?
Any comments from someone else?
Post Note: From the release notes it seems the functionality should work OK .. So either my set up is buggy or the HW is not fast enough

Video isn't supported on the Pi in MC as far as I know. That's included in the list of things that don't work at the top of this thread. It works for the linux version more generally, but to my knowledge it is neither working nor supported on the Pi or the armhf platform generally.

Hi guys
Thanks @mwillems for the effort to maintain up-to-date info! It makes it so much easier for us guys that dont play with linux everyday. :)
I did an in-place upgrade of Wheezy to Jessie stretch (which took forever to run) but it did finish. I had a backup and was fully prepared (reluctantly) to have to rebuild my customisations for my Pi Brick from scratch. Thankfully it wasn't needed.
I followed your new instructions for X11VNC and have replaced my old XRDP remote desktop setup successfully with VNC. I'm just stress testing the upgrade with MC23 with a mix of different files and formats from MP3 to different FLAC and DSD DFF files. So far so good.
I was running MC21 for the last couple years on the Pi and was dreading the upgrade because of all my customisations for my Pi player.
Thankfully all my customisations came through unscathed too!
If all goes well the Pi MC23 will become a permanent fixture in my car again to replace all the other things I've been playing with to get quality audio in the car again (without resorting to bluetooth or chromecast)
One thing I did note - it's imperative to force a thumbnail build on the Pi before you start using JRemote. With only 3k or so files in the library, MC23 would crash whenever I loaded up JRemote and started navigating the library.
After building the thumbnails all good so far. :)
Thanks again!

Is it possible to set thread priorities on a Pi? Can't seem to get it to work as described in the main thread: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,111373.msg769735.html#msg769735
