SOLVED: Weird pixelation and stuttering issues when playing on Samsung TV app

[chrissous]

I don't see anything obviously wrong in the contents of the ENGLISH subs.  When I extracted just the english subs and did SRT to SRT conversion, that resulted in identical checksums.  Which indicates that it isn't malformed.  I did the same with every subtitle track and the "converted" subs all had identical checksums to the original.

For testing, let's try removing all the extra sub tracks you don't need and replace the original with the new file with just english subs.  I'm assuming you're using the english subs based on the US flag icon in your forum profile.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Code:

/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -fflags +genpts+igndts -i "/media/TV & Shows/Severance/Severance.S01E03.1080p.WEB.H264-CAKES[TGx]/severance.s01e03.1080p.web.h264-cakes.mkv" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 0:s:0 -codec copy -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -max_interleave_delta 0 -avoid_negative_ts disabled /media/S01E03.mkv

Make a backup copy of the original, replace the original with the new file we put in /media, rescan your library, set subtitle burn in back to auto on your TV, try to play this episode again.

Okay so having done that, the issue of pixelation every time there is dialogue isnt happening anymore which is great. Only thing Im noticing now is what seems like buffering. The video will pause every minute or so for about 15 to 20 seconds, then goes back to playing. I do notice during that time, on the server's web client dashboard it says that Tizen app is working just fine and the elapsed time keeps going, as if it is de synchronized.
