So, I have some content on my PC and external HDD which I want to playback through the UB300 to take advantage of the tone mapping and upconversion to BT2020. On almost all files, its fine. But now and again I get a file that has such an erratic bitrate, it becomes unwatchable.

Say the file has an advertised bitrate of 67mbps, I will see it fluctuate between 15 and 300...

I can then play the same file back through my Nvidia Shield TV and these issues do not prevent themselves.

Any ideas? On latest firmware for the player.
 
So what's the problem? UHD Blu-Ray also have a fluctuating bit rate although that usually only up to 128mbs.

It's variable bit rate and that 67 figure will just be the average.

If it's spiking unnecessary high or low in bit rate then something has gone wrong when you ripped the file. But it's not an issue with the player, it's just the file.
 
Oddly this happens when connected via USB, but not when streaming.

You cant use the Playback information via network though so I cant say if the bitrate is fluctuating so wildly.
