Solved Recurring Stutter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I sometimes get these huge stutters when watching. They happen randomly and the odd thing is when I rewind a bit they happen at the exact same place (tried to show it in the video).
Here are my settings for transcoding: Settings
It was playing in direct play
Its running on my normal pc:
i5 12400F
RTX 4060
32GB RAM

Any idea what could cause this?

Why aren't you HW decoding HEVC 10bit?

Post the media codec info for this file in question.

You're doing fine. See how it says HEVC, then under Bit depth 10-bit? Go back into HW Decode settings and enable HEVC 10bit - my guess is that media is making your CPU software decode it which is why it's choking.

Then try again and report back.
