I have same issue, Samsung TV with some videos stuttering at times while same ones work just fine on other TV's or phones. And at first i also thought it may be something with the format itself but it should not happen as my TV has native support for .mkv files.
Then i noticed the issue doesn't replicate with all .mkv files. So then i thought maybe some issue regarding the codecs within the container. But it's not really.
As i decided to focus a bit more effort to this issue and see if it's maybe an issue with the file itself or not, to test if encoding in a different format may help. And it did.
Then compared the codecs within, as i didn't thought at first to take that in consideration when encoding so i just went default settings in shotcut. And i noticed that they were the exact same ones in the .mkv that didn't work and in .mp4 that did.
So i have no idea what is precisely the issue, but just copying everything as is in another container with ffmpeg in like 5 seconds seemed to fix the thing. Maybe some 99% encoding completion type of scenario where everything seems fine but it's not really and the TV is fussy about it.
