mediainfo on those problematic hevc's would be helpful.

I use VLC to get the media info; is there another way from MrMC directly?
Thanks

The HEVC files I have stutter still. It could be because they are all 10bit. Unfortunately for testing purposes I recently got rid of 2 HEVC encodes that were not 10 bit.

So, I downloaded some test files from jellyfish, 3mbit/s main and main10. Unfortunately, I couldn't get them to play. I think because there's no audio track they just sit on the first frame or something.

edit: version of MrMC on Shield plays the jellyfish files just fine, with AMC or ff-hevc. Downloaded the h264 3mbit/s file and it also does NOT play on the ATV4, even with VTB. So, it's the new ffmpeg demuxer or something that gets hung up with no audio in the mkv.

Changed to all files and 200MB, and strangely there seemed to be an even longer startup for playing (but frozen seeing all the files in the directory and the video thumbnail) and the playback was definitley less smooth

Updated to 170503.1539, and enabled debug logging
Same behaviour with 200mb and áll files'caching - long startup and GoPro video stuttering

Changed back to 20mb and internet files caching - Video startup still took a while but this time the first video frame was immediately fullscreen (frozen), and playback was again choppy after about 15 seconds of play time

The longer sample I've been using can be grabbed here;

And third time is the charm Finally tracked down the real issue. A three line fix. I've reverted the previous 'fixes', they were causing issues with other areas. All three samples (including the longer sample) now play perfectly, without any startup delays.
