I have noticed that this glitchiness only occurs in DIRECT TO PLANE mode and is not present in EGL mode, which runs perfectly. Unfortunately, 10 bit videos do not play in EGL mode because of an error: "error <general>: CEGLImage::SupportsFormat - format not supported: NV15"

In fact, it only seems to be present with subtitles displayed. Old VobSub DVD subtitles are fine but any text based subtitles rendered by kodi seem to cause the glitchiness. I wonder if the rendering the font and the video is just too much for the box. Is there any way to reduce the rendering resolution of subtitles perhaps?

I've noticed that playback at 24hz causes frames to show out of order and tear, whereas at other refresh rates it's flawless. (The Sync Playback to Display option doesn't make any difference here)

chaconet without logs I can't help you.

ham-egg-and-chips wich model of box? no particolar issue for me at 24hz.

It's a 3229 box called an "m8s-mini"

Hello, thanks for all the work you've put into this, it's saved my old tv box from going in the bin.

I've noticed that playback at 24hz causes frames to show out of order and tear, whereas at other refresh rates it's flawless. (The Sync Playback to Display option doesn't make any difference here)

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this?

(I understand the nature of these cheap boxes means there are a lot of different components and this could well be a quirk unique to my own ageing hardware, in which case that's fine! It works well enough at 60hz.)
