Video Stuttering Issues

tehas:
Appreciate the response Dan. I ended up building a new HTPC which removed stuttering  ;D

If that makes it work reliably, at least you have more information.

The sledgehammer worked. Just moved to 4k content and the PC (i3-10300T) that performed flawlessly with 1080p produced an unwatchable slide show. Searching I came upon this thread and your post. Follow-up please; exactly what “more” information do I have?

I thought playing 4k content on a 4k system wouldn't take much processing power. It seems that I was wrong. Is there a simple fix for my build? An i5-10500T perhaps? Up the 8GB OF RAM to 16?


Thanks!

Well that iGPU is pretty weak, you may want to try toggling hardware acceleration off/on to move decoding to the CPU and allow GPU to focus on rendering. Otherwise you'll want to use minimum quality settings, make sure your graphics driver is up-to-date, and double-check the JRVR OSD (Ctrl-J) to monitor performance to make sure there isn't anything funky going on (unintended scaling, tonemapping, etc).

Thanks. I'll try the tweaks you mentioned and assess. Is a dedicated GPU necessary to achieve smooth results, or would a later gen i5 or i7 CPU do it?  I'm trying to stay with m-ITX, a 35-w CPU and a minimalist case.

pepar:
I selected Red October Standard, turned on rendering to buffers and hardware acceleration, and that produced good results. I can't let that alone, though, and I'd like to know what am I missing?? What would improve with more processing power, more RAM and, apparently the holy grail of a fast, dedicated GPU?
