Jerky playback of movies - but only when played through library?

Kodi

How do I explain this. I have a movie folder and a TV folder on my NAS. All my TV shows play perfectly but my movie playback is very jerky. The type of file makes no difference. I have the same formats in my TV shows and they work fine. The kicker is though when I go into the actual file by navigating through the NAS and finding the movie I want to watch, the playback is perfect. If I then find that same movie via the Movie menu the playback is jerky. I’m guessing something has been corrupted somewhere along the line Anyone got any ideas?

I am using CoreElec 9.2.2 (Kodi v18.6) on an ODroid N2, with my video libraries stored on a NAS connected by ethernet and running the Amber Skin. I have tried changing to the Estuary skin but get the exact same results.

Anyone have any ideas?

thankyou

maybe it’s continuously scanning the library.

you can disable scanning during scanning. Just look at the menu on the left (popup menu). You can also try latest nightly. It’s got newer version of kodi.
