Just installed the latest beta 8.95.001 on my wetek play - and also installed the amazon vod plugin. it works but the video slutters ... when i look to cpu usage during playback its at 100% - the codec doesnt seems to use the hardware capabilities of the wetek to decode the h264-stream. ist there a solution?

ARM SoCs have to software decode DRM-ed content from Amazon and Netflix for the DRM component used in Kodi to work. They can't use hardware acceleration for these streams.

Use native Amazon App on Your TV or Amazon Fire Stick/Box

The CPU in the WP1 is too weak for software decoding of DRM'd content. It's not something we can solve in software.
