Jetson Nano video playback is skipping frames

I have a rendered, 10-second video in 4K quality that I am trying to play on my Jetson Nano. However, whenever I open the video in the video player that comes standard on Linux - it plays very choppy and skips frames as it plays. The same issues happens on my Jetson TX2 and Jetson AGX Xavier. But – when I load the video off a web server, all three systems work fine without any issues and when I load the videos on all the devices using NVGSTPlayer, they load perfectly fine (with the exception of the AGX Xavier which still has issues with the video).

Note: I loaded the video on a separate non-Jetson device running Linux and it had no issues either.

The video I am rendering is a 10-second clip of a much larger video and these issues have me worried about playing the larger video.

Hi,
It looks like hardware decoder is not used, or the stream exceeds maximum capability.
