Choppy Video Playback on Loop

Player Version

Windows 11 Ent - v4 R404.1

Issue

We recently switched to v4. We have 60 Windows players with a local docker v4.2.2 CMS install on Ubuntu. The migration mostly went well, but we are having some trouble with video playback. Especially when a single video is looping. The layout is using the video widget filling the display. It starts off playing fine, but then gets worse on each loop. The video becomes choppy and the audio gets out of sync. The player log has multiple of the following error message.

MediaElement_MediaOpened: 16455 video running past watchman end check.

So far I’ve tried rendering the video (only 70MB and 1080p) in handbrake and updating the GPU drivers. Neither have helped. What I think has helped is adding the playlist to the layout and then adding an image after the video, but this is not ideal. Any help is appreciated.

This is still an issue. Anyone else having the same problem?
