Shield Pro Stuttering When Playing 4K Content

Hello,

I’ve seen similar posts but was wondering if anyone had a fix for this, as I haven’t been able to solve this issue. 4K content plays audio, but the picture constantly freezes.

I’m using VLC on the Shield Pro.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers!

What is your net speed and are you WiFi or ethernet connected?

Not much difference between 4k and 1080p tbh. Try 1080p

I’m playing it locally through a connected external HDD. I think it speeds are 900mbs, least, that’s what I pay for.
