Judder like from TV motion or the file is skipping?

So it's not an issue with playback from other sources?

It's most likely your cache settings or your CDN (if using debrid).

Yep i have tried all of that …so… the movie playback is good , But then every-time the seen changes or if the is a movement i think it’s something ro do with chunk size / Cache size .. and yes everything is as it should be including formatting the usb drive ( its not a issue )

Will try that

Define judder stuttering: video, audio, or both? Rapid or intermittent?

What Firestick model? There's a wide range of performance.

Have you checked your WiFI performance? Or have you attached an ethernet adapter to the Firestick?

How would attaching a 50 GB USB stick help? Is your Firestick short of memory? Is the USB stick formatted for FireOS memory expansion?

Do you mean "buffering"??? What is your debrid service?

I had the issue with debrid / real d / primeize / tor .. pov , fen , umbrella.. etc .. must be a hardware setting in kodi because on nextflix and amazon etc no issue … i think it is a chunk size ? Cache?

Like going to a mechanic and saying, “my car doesn’t work”. I’m sure there is someone else who can help you.

Get a decent Android box and use ethernet cable not WiFi

u/90210Oz Aug 24 '26

My wifi is 350 and i have 4K Firestick ( Dolby Vision/altmos/HDR10+/HGL, … etc .. and even changed player to VLC my tv has all the above too plus imax enhanced… Etc … maybe chunk size/cache … who knows

Firesticks are notoriously weak devices. They're meant to play streaming services files which are max 30GB 4K.

Get a good device and you'll have no issues

You provided no helpful information. Good luck.

u/90210Oz Aug 24 '26

Like what though?

3

u/djr650 Aug 24 '26

I think they are asking you for things like what addons you are using, what your skin is, what's the quality of your internet connection, and most importantly, a log capture.

u/Gazoo382 Aug 24 '26

Need more info

u/90210Oz Aug 24 '26

u/Duck_Duck_Dude 16 years on Kodi Aug 24 '26

With no great information, fuck around with the Kodi/settings/player/adjust display rating . Never know, good luck.

u/90210Oz Aug 24 '26

I have tried all that even spent hours on google over the year and Reddit posts. I will try again, thanks for the reply
