Trying to play a mkv file, after a few minutes into the movie, it started being choppy. Only way to stop it was to stop the movie and then resume, but after a minute it started again.
Any ideas on what the problem is? The mkv file itself or the player? I’ve not had problems with other files so far.
Download & Install ‘MediaInfo’ and Post the Details of the Mkv Video File.

Looks ok,
Personally, if have ‘dodgy’ MKV’s … i demux and then remux them.
90% of the time, this can fix any anomalies.
I use MkvExtract and MkvMerge …
Are you playing these over a wired or wireless connection? My MKVs play fine over wired, but only the standard def MKVs play over wireless. Blu-Ray MKV rips have just too much data to stream wirelessly.
No the files are on the hub itself!
How can it be a streaming issue when the files are on the hub itself?
I didn’t know that at the time… Given the timestamp, you replied at the same time I did…
No problem…
Just had the same issue with another file
Have you Tried the “Match Framerate” Option that Appears when you select “Auto” Resolution in the “Setup”
“Appearance” Menu. ? Just a Guess, Worth a try ?
Thanks, that did it for one of the two files, the other one didn’t work still.
This one:
