    I tried with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.1.502 and got the same video stutter. I can provide logs for this as well if needed.


    Thanks

    Ah, that seems to have fixed it, video is smooth again. Thanks!


    I'm a bit confused though. I remember the sync playback to display feature was introduced to avoid micro stutters. Is this a bug that was introduced?

    Video looks butter smooth though with sync playback to display disabled.

    No, it simply depends on what what you have attached: a fixated 60hz monitor or a TV that has multiple refresh rates. And perhaps your setting was somehow reset or changed.

    I play on a Sony VPL-HW65ES which supports all refresh rates. I'm 100% sure though that I always had sync playback to display enabled and never had issues. I tested multiple times on both versions.


    But as said playback is smooth now with the setting disabled!
