  • Only for Linux? Well I've been thinking about moving to Ubuntu actually.

  • It would be worth asking the TV series website if they also have the videos available at lower resolutions. There might be some setting to enable that which isn't obvious. Commented Mar 18, 2018 at 21:45
  • Oh no.. I contacted them and they said I have to pay an extra fee to access all resolutions of episodes.

    Instead of wildly guessing, did you actually look at the CPU and GPU load while trying to play those files? What encoding are they?

    I see. So your CPU is too slow. // I very much doubt the files are MPEG-4 (AKA DivX, Xvid, ...). Please run the files through ffprobe to get the actual codecs used. VLC can also display them, though I can’t tell you where exactly.
