What is causing this?

by Dan0rt

I've been trying quiet some IPTV providers as I want to try cutting the cord. But..

With all ball sports there is this trail behind the ball and it's just not smooth. I think it's because of the frames per second but then again, I am not sure. Same goes for natural smoothness. It just looks choppy.

Now I am watching on a Mi box which might not be ideal. Is that right? Would having other hardware result in smoother playback for instance? Or is this -just- a provider issue and should I keep looking?

I hope someone with good IPTV knowledge could try to explain this and what the best solution would be.

Been using IPTV for a while. The internet simply does not allow perfect video all the time. Sometimes it does, sometimes it is choppy.

Turn off motion blur/ smoothness settings on your TV.

Guessing you have a 4K TV? It's the upscaling that does it, I believe.

EDIT: Also, to confirm, 99% sure it's not a provider issue.

I suppose you could be suffering from a Video Frame Rate vs Screen Refresh Rate (FPS vs Hz) issue: [please click for more info] ( https://www.lifewire.com/video-frame-vs-screen-refresh-rate-1847855 ) In [this youtube video] ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=662&v=S3-Q8PWBoSI ), after minute 6:00, you can see some examples of this issue. Sorry for being in Portuguese but it was what I found searching this for you (for each video, please look at FPS vs Hz info at the top right corner). Fixing this is easy: just enable automatic refresh rate in your Mi Box [please click for more info] ( https://androidpctv.com/xiaomi-mi-box-judder/ ). EDIT: I don't have a Mi Box, I only searched it. I have a Vero 4k + with auto adjust display refresh rate working flawlessly.

If the channel you’re watching is 25fps that’s likely to be the outcome.

What's the resolution on the channel?

It's 720p, but just tested an far more expensive one that doesn't have it so must be that.
