Hello,
I am having problems with buffering on a 4K video playing on my TV - Philips 65OLED854 running Kodi through Android TV playing from my NAS (more info below).
The build reported by Kodi is "Kodi 18.5 Git:20191116-37f51f6e63" running on Android 9.0.0 API level 28 (kernel: Linux 4.9.125).
I thought my NAS-device where the media resides on could be the bottleneck (Intel Celeron J1800 dual-core @ 2.4 GHz w. 8GB of RAM) but I can see during playback that the NAS reports around 12% CPU and 17% RAM-utilization during playback.
When looking at "Player process info" (when pressing "O" during playback) it reports "System memory usage" as around 75% which is steady even just before it starts to buffer. However when activating the debug option I see that all cores on my TV are shown with 0% utilization but "Kodi-CPU" is around 130% and then goes to 60-70% after the buffering issue has occured.
The connection to my TV where Kodi is running is through ethernet (Cat6) and my NAS is also connected through ethernet (Cat6) through a gigabit-compatible router so its gigabit all the way.
The NAS reports around 10-11MBps network utilization which is around 80Mbit and a far cry from what the network infrastructure can provide.
Appreciate your time and help - TheSwede86
