Movies Stuttering After ~1 Hour of Playback

  • Hi all,

    Any movie I play ends up stuttering and losing audio and video synchronisation after about 1 hour of playback. This is consistent across multiple files and video types. The problem stops when I fully stop the player and restart the file (I don't have to reboot Kodi).

    I'm using a RP4 and the files are on an external SSD. Kodi and the Pi are fully updated to the latest versions.

    Logfile Hastebin

    The issue starts on line 1823, time: 10:40:24.718: debug <general>: CVideoReferenceClock: detected 1 vblanks, missed 2, refreshrate might have changed

    Then proceeds to lose audio sync a few seconds later: 10:44:08.999 T:1027 warning <general>: ActiveAE - large audio sync error: -89477.712196

    In my settings, I've switched Refresh to "Off" - keeping it on with my TV makes the movies look too smooth and unnatural, and not like "movies".

    I've seen a few threads about this, but no firm answers, I think. Any advice would be appreciated.
