4k stutter on YouTube

by StatusBuffalo4826

Hi while I was testing some 4k content on my 4k andoird tv while using YouTube I notice it stutters on certain 4k videos anyone else has that issue? Suggestions are welcome. Also should I just get a external android TV box? Like a nividia shield or roku?

Shield : overkill to watch YouTube. Wal-Mart's Onn 4k box more appropriate

Sideload, adjust the buffer and various settings. Enjoy.

How would you describe the stutter? Is it possible the 4K recording was made at 50 fps and your panel is set to 60Hz? Unfortunately refresh rate switching is only available from Android 12 onwards.

You can report issues with videos in two ways:

  1. by going to the video OSD pressing any arrow key or the OK button, then go to the playback options, press the three dots button and move to the feedback button, click on it and select the appropiate report.

  2. By going to the YouTube Feedback website and report any issues you may encounter with the Android TV YouTube app.
