Advancedsettings.xml does not improve your playback.
Advancedsettings.xml for kodi is a "extra" , it is like the name say a "advanced" setting and allows you to "centralize" your data in one place (NAS for example).
You need first to improve your local connection/settings and then copy basic advancedsettings.xml (if you don't have.

The advancedsettings.xml can
most definitely improve your playback if
properly used & depending on subjective conditions, & usage mate
!!!
(The advanced settings are useful for a
whole lot more other than pointing your Kodi clients towards a
MySQL server that may be running on a local NAS alone!! (That's just
one very useful feature, but it's literally just the tip of the iceberg of what it can actually be used for or achieve
.))
Some
very common adjustments frequently used for tweaking/improving Kodi's playback are the
buffer mode,
memory size (buffer size), or the
read factor (buffer fill rate). Have a read here for more info....

Otherwise, you'd be amazed just how much you can actually modify or change using Kodi's advanced settings. (There are
countless settings available to modify/tweak just about every single aspect of Kodi, etc.) (
Or completely mess Kodi up if misused lol .) More info here

Anyone have advancedsettings for smoth play without microstuttering on movies? Is there anything i can fix that?
Try
@pusb87 's advancedsettings.xml file posted earlier under this thread here (post #23)...
https://theminixforum.com/index.php...-kodi-18-x-jerky-movies.1559/page-2#post-9269
It's generally a good starting point & then you can tweak
@pusb87 's example further (if required) depending on your subjective results.
Are you using audio passthrough to external hardware as well? If no, you could also first try
enabling Kodi's "
sync playback to display" setting. (If you are using passthrough don't use this setting or it'll completely disable your audio passthrough
.)
Have you also tried using Kodi's "adjust display refresh rate" setting? (I.e. if you have a 4K TV set to 4K@60 Hz you may experience micro-stutter when viewing movies with 23.976 / 24 FPS frame rates. Set this particular setting to "
on start/stop" for frame rate switching to specifically match that of any media you may be viewing.)
Depending on your setup try both of these settings first before trying to add an advancedsettings.xml file, they may actually cure your stutter by themselves. If they're still not helping, then give the XML file a try
.
Let us know if you're seeing any improvements either way or if you're still experiencing the stuttering
