Greetings
On first load, there was no stuttering of my music. I can only guess that from automatic updates, something changed and stuttering became a serious issue. I followed suggestions on the forum on changing network settings buffering etc in advancedsettings.xml by creating under .kodi/usersettings/. In the log files I see that the settings are loaded. There was no noticeable change. Only from fiddling around did I find that when I changed interface from "HDMI/Analogue" to "Analogue" only did the stuttering stop(almost). There is an occasional stutter/pause. Monitoring via ssh, at the point of pause, the whole system does - I can't type into terminal. Top shows no stress on CPU and there's plenty of memory available.
This is my advancedsettings.xml:
