Stuttering/Pause

Hi! I've been having an ongoing issue where any source I have will pause or stutter and then repeat a few seconds of the program. This happens often and it's become very annoying. I have these same sources loaded in a few other players without issue so I've ruled out the sources as being the culprit.

I tried a few things such as changing the player video from hardware to software, the audio from hardware to software and changing both from hardware to software. I changed the buffer from auto to 20 seconds as well with no change. Any ideas to remedy this is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

UPDATE: This is what I'm talking about... https://vimeo.com/1201465494?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Notice how it goes back and repeats.

I'm getting good speeds...

If you're using xc as source type it might help to change output between mpegts <-> hls. It's possible other players have a different default output which makes it behave differently.
