RPI4: Stuttering Streaming on 4K settings but fine when on 1080p resolution.

1st Official Post

    First, Thank you for a great software!

    I have a RPI4 with 4GB ram.

    Streaming (720p or 1080p) live video when system is set for 4k causes the picture to stutter every 1 to 2 secs.

    Note: Playing non live video works fine at 4k general video settings.

    But if I change the resolution to 1080p, the same video plays buttery smooth.

    But if I change the resolution to 1440p, the same video plays pretty good. Minor stuttering sometimes.

    Any suggestions? I would like to keep the resolution settings at 4k, if possible. No problem, if not.

    Not sure if limitation of RPI4 and 4k but I thought I would let you know.

    Thanks,

    If you have the change above already in place and no difference then where are the movies stored? Are they on a NAS/Server/USB HDD on router connected by cable or are you on Wifi to the PI. If its Wifi then it could simply be your running out of bandwidth, even on cable that could be the same issue.
