Why is Netflix smoother than DVD/Blurays? (sh.itjust.works)

Hi everyone!

I have a collection of around 200 movies on DVD/Blurays that I’ve ripped with MakeMKV.

Wether I watch these on my Htpc with Kodi or on my Playstation 5, there are less fluid/smooth than when I watch Netflix on my TV.

As if the movies were 24/25 fps on dics and 60fps on Netflix.

And I have the same motion settings for all sources, but Netflix is still smoother without having too much of a sitcom effect. Am I the only one noticing this and how do they do this? I haven’t found anything on the web about this..

It's possible your external sources (Bluray player, PS5, HDMI) use a different picture profile than your native apps. Maybe you have frame interpolation (whatever it's called on your model) enabled on native input?

Yeah I’ll investigate into this even if the settings are pretty similar between my Netflix source and my HTPC/PS5 source.

Maybe it’s also easier for the TV to perfectly adapt the framerate to something coming from an app inside the TV instead of adapting to something coming from an external device..
