The second hack, you can check is to reduce playback resolution.
Try to set Separate Video modes for playback (in Setup -> Apperance).
This way picure rendering will consume less of cpu.
It is a pity stream decoding still will consume  much resources.
And HD will not be HD. :(

Check your network bandwith too.
HD stream needs larger pipe as it is much more of data.

My bandwidth should be fine.
The backend and this remote frontend are on the same ethernet switch.
Sitting right next to each other.
That backend with its local frontend is working very nicely.

So on this remote frontend, I don't mind reducing the resolution on an
HD channel.
I am looking at Setup -> Appearance -> Video Mode Settings
Is this the right place to change the playback resolution?
If yes, what should I put there?
