We need to see the full text output.  There should be more detailed information than that.

If you're viewing on a PC, there is a guide here:

If you're viewing on a Mac, press Export and Save Text Report, then copy-paste the contents here.

Here's the answers to your questions everybody, and thanks again for all your help:

1) I don't encode my own software. I just download the files from the net, put them on usb stick, and transfer them onto the hub. Only common denominators I've found for this files that are jittering is that they're all avi files that are 1000mb or smaller. But that still doesn't explain why the framerate works fine on my Mac but not the hub.

2) Firmware on my hub is currently fully up to date.

3) I redid the scan with that program. Here's all the info it gave me in text format:

Oh yeah, and I also already tried the 1080p 50hz setting, didn't make any difference

[Houseofjanzen]

Anyone have any more ideas? Am I just screwed here?

[AlexSSS]

you can try put file to mkv container with mkvmergegui program from MKVToolnix

sometimes it helps with problem files

it is also possible that you have Format settings, GMC  >0

it is problem for hardware player

"it is also possible that you have Format settings, GMC  >0

Sorry, I have no idea what this means, let alone what to do about it.

[AlexSSS]

your mediainfo report is not full

need a full mediainfo report

[AlexSSS]

you posted link

http://www.networkedmediatank.com/wiki/index.php/How-To_find_Video_file_Info_and_What_to_look_for%3F

there is a QMC/QPEL section description

so I know exactly that MAC mediainfo report have this section

but this section is not in your report
