I don't think that's the issue. My CPU usage is only about 10% when transcoding happens. Additionally, I have just retested that same movie on my computer browser and on my Roku TV and they both work fine without stutter on both direct and transcoded streams.
I think it might be something with the webOS app or the LG TV in general maybe. High bitrate movies stutter on both direct stream and higher quality transcoded stream (60 and 80 mbps), so I tried lowering the quality of the movie down to 40 mbps and it seems to mostly stop at that threshold.
One thing I forgot to mention is that when the movie stutters, it seems the whole app does too as the UI becomes unresponsive during the stuttering (clicking over to the pause button, caption button, etc). Sometimes the app even crashes to free up memory, but that's only happened twice and seems rare.
Also my Roku and computer are both connected to WiFi so I guess it wasn't a network congestion issue.
