Onn 4k Pro freezing/stuttering (not buffering) - SilveryAbaba - 2025-08-26

Hello,
After running flawlessly for a long time Onn started freezing during playback.

It isn't buffering because the connection is great, I set up a laptop there and it plays the same media via wifi perfectly. I figured it was an internet problem anyway and finally got around to running ethernet to it, but it made no difference.

I did a factory reset and installed just tailscale (to access the server) and jellyfin, and it's still continuing.

I tried disabling game mode, frame match, bluetooth, etc.

I tried an kodi as an external player but it suffers the same behavior.
I set up kodi jellyfin add on and it also suffers.

I had to disable nvidia because the container stopped launching with it, but the issue came awhile after that. Regardless, the media is direct play.

I put the media on a thumbdrive and it played it just fine.

docker-compose:



jellyfin:



    image: jellyfin/jellyfin



    container_name: jellyfin



    networks:



      - bridge_network



      - backend_network



    user: 1000:1000



    volumes:



      - jellyconfigconfig



      - jellycachecache



      - /media/8tb/moviesMovies



    restart: unless-stopped



    #runtime: nvidia



    #deploy:



    #  resources:



    #    reservations:



    #      devices:



    #        - driver: nvidia



    #          count: all



    #          capabilities: [gpu]

any ideas?

Hi, I'm having the same issue with the Onn 4k Pro. When the video starts playing it instantly starts stuttering and looks like a lower framerate.
For me it's occuring on HEVC encoded videos using direct play. Anything h264 seems ok, regardless of resolution.
Network connectivity is also not the problem. I can use VLC to play HEVC videos just fine with no transcoding.
Tried multiple cables, changing resolution and color profiles and I couldn't find a solution.

Just found this thread on the Jellyfin Android TV GitHub: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/issues/3233
It's possibly an issue that goes deeper than the Jellyfin app

Okay I finally figured out what it was for me. It was actually some stupid LG TV setting (why can't they just be monitors anymore, ugh!). I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7BBkRI29X4

I think it was the Display -> Clarity -> TruMotion De-Judder and De-Blur both set to 2 at 18:22 that fixed it?
