Thanks for testing again, and glad playback works now!
"Choppy" can come from a few different things, and Silage's Playback Info tells them apart. Could you update to Silage 0.5.2 (it offers itself as Update ready in the sidebar), play a video that feels choppy for a minute, then press I and C to copy Playback Info and paste it here? The Video, Decoder and Dropped frames lines matter most.
It would also help to know:
your GPU (e.g. from lspci | grep -i vga) and your monitor's refresh rate,
whether the choppiness is in every video or mainly 4K / HDR ones,
whether RPM Fusion's hardware decoding drivers are installed (rpm -qa | grep -E 'freeworld|intel-media-driver|nvidia'). Fedora's own drivers leave out H.264/HEVC hardware decoding, so without them a 4K video decodes on the CPU, which is the most common cause on Fedora.
With that I can tell whether it's decoding, rendering load, or 24 fps film on a 60+ Hz screen, and fix the right thing.
I suspect this may have something to do with freeworld drivers not being quite updated on yesterday's fedora 45 release, which i have upgraded to. Your suggested path of problem finding seems good to find the exact cause. Will report back when i do the diagnosis
