When I upload a video via Remote Playback I experience lag. It happens randomly.. sometimes in quick succession, like with 30 second intervals, other times maybe after 5 minutes or if I'm lucky, 10 minutes. Sometimes the lag is tiny but mostly it lasts a couple of seconds and the video jumps like 5 seconds or sometimes even 30 seconds. Do you have any idea as to why this is happening? I'm using Safari to upload, and both that, the vlc app and tvOS are up to date. This current video I tried is an .mkv video and flac sound but the lag happens regardless of the file, it seems.

Hope someone can help!

I just tried using the Local Network feature instead and I get the exact same lag issues. This renders the app basically useless. Any ideas?

We need access to the sample file (you can share on http://streams.videolan.org/jsupload/) or at least the full output from a tool called media-info.

Dear VideoLAN!

Firstly, I love your program, I use it on all of my devices, without any problem.
I have the same problem on my Apple TV 4 as written before. 64 Gb model and an AC router (with MIMO feature). Speedtest shows me over 500 Mb/s. Youtube and video previews (Apple Movie app) works perfectly, but when I use VLC I have some lag problems:
Whenever it's from local area or I copy it via remote play I have the following problems:
1. Remote play (the better way), when I copy the files to the apple tv. The full video is smooth, but sometimes (about 10 times per video between 1-3 secs) drops some frames. Sometimes just hangs (happens about 1 of 5 videos), and I have to restart the video and jump over the scene at the given time.
2. Network play: This is very laggy. With every movie it isn't smooth Sometimes also exists from the movie and hanging comes here to...

Should I upload some example movie? Am I the only one who is facing whit this problem?
