Hate to revive this thread, but although changing "AV Sync Mode" to "Resample" worked on most movies, I just found out it causes havoc on others.
For example, I have two episodes of a TV series. One plays perfectly fine with AV Sync Mode set to either Resample or Audio. The other pauses half a second at each keyframe (scene change) when AV Sync Mode is set to Audio (but will otherwise play smoothly) or skips frames every half second or so when it's set to Resample.
So what is it that causes this? Here is the coded information side by side. So the one on the left plays perfectly fine, no matter what AV Sync Mode is set to, the one on the right never plays smoothly, regardless of the setting of AV Sync Mode.

The only differences I see I have marked in red. BTW, VLC plays both files just fine, so it's absolutely something in Jellyfin (or the embedded MPV player).
EDIT:
Apparently, the one on the left is SDR, while the one on the right is HDR? But could that be the cause? Almost all my movies are HDR, and none (except a few) have this problem...
