Choppy video playback - v9.0.1 x86_64

  • OS: Linux (LibreELEC 9.0.1 x86_64)

    Linux Kernel Version: 4.19.23

    Kodi Version: 18.1

    File format: 1080p/MPEG-2 , .ts file


    I have noticed that ever since upgrading to LE version 9 / Kodi v18 from LE version 8.2.5 / Kodi v17, certain video playback has been choppy. The latest example is the following file:


    /storage/dvr/Arrow (2012)/Season 07/Arrow (2012) - S07E17 - Inheritance.ts


    The video is not choppy during the entire playback of the file, but only certain portions. It appears to happen mostly while there is camera motion.

    Debug was enabled while video file was played. The issue appears to happen mostly with DVR recordings from US networks CW and NBC. I haven't noticed issues with recordings from US networks ABC, CBS.

    I had originally tried the folks over in the KODI forum, but I was not able to replicate the issue in the WINDOWS version or the ANDROID version of KODI, so I decided to search for assistance here.
