Hi all,
New to Kodi 17.1.
Watching football and have figured the buffering side out but i am getting a lot of stuttering during the games i watch which make it very annoying. Does anyone know of tips or how to re set up my box to help make it run smoother, especaulley when wTching football.

Thanks
As a general advisory, please see free content (wiki) piracy policy (wiki) first before advancing the discussion, so that everyone is one the same page.

What content provider is having these issues?
On any live stream the Picture is poor. Any Movie is good but Live TV is woeful. It is either behind and slow or very jittery. I have a 4k TV and a MXQ Pro box if that helps. I am just after a guide for setting TV to Kodi and any Kodi adjustments that might help. Thank you
If these streams are free and coming from dodgy Pirate internet servers using Banned Kodi Addons we will not lift a finger to help.
Anything could be at fault then.

Even the Next door Neighbour's black cat could be the core issue !

Debug Log it:

No ESPN and Fox Sports off the Kodi website. Great up until games start then it goes awry. Any help given will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Try this build http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/andro...bi-v7a.apk and see if you are still having issues.

Hello Tinwarble

Link not working.
Thank you. I will try it tonight.
I have stuttering Issues aswell on my Fire TV with mkv files. This problem i had before on version 15 and later 16 but could be solved when changed hardware acceleration to software acceleration in video settings.

But now with 17.3 this Option is greyed out on Fire TV and i dont know why. I can only disable the Mediacodec thingies but this dont help. I resetet my Fire TV complete and made a fresh install but still.

can anyone help me how i can change this to software acceleration? Or is this not possible anymore?
Kodi will use software if you disable Mediacodec/ Mediacodec(Surface).

If you're having issues you need to post a Debug log (wiki).
when i disable this both than the stuttering is still there.
