mpv --hwdec=auto 50.mkv
● Video  --vid=1  --vlang=eng  (h264 1280x534 23.976 fps) [default]
● Audio  --aid=1  --alang=pol  (ac3 6ch 48000 Hz) [default]
Using hardware decoding (vulkan).
AO: [pulse] 48000Hz 5.1(side) 6ch float
VO: [gpu-next] 1280x534 vulkan[nv12]

Audio/Video desynchronisation detected! Possible reasons include too slow
hardware, temporary CPU spikes, broken drivers, and broken files. Audio
position will not match to the video (see A-V status field).
Consider trying `--profile=fast` and/or `--hwdec=auto` as they may help.

(Paused) AV: 00:17:48 / 02:08:29 (14%) A-V:  0.000 Dropped: 99

Anyone could help to find the source of that problem?

Re: [Solved] Stuttering video after Gnome update

Thank you Seth for pointing out mutter and gnome shell issue.
Gnome Shell 50.1 occurred today in repo so I upgraded and the problem is gone.
