@fritsch: i think i don't have the 25fps speed issue due older kodi v17 from your repo. i will continue testing when LE is branched and master is switched to a more recent v17. otherwise i would have edid issue (therefore no hd audio after boot with enabled tv/avr) with my hw and reencoded ac3 in live tv.
but regarding the skipping issue i have already posted logs some days ago and there was no solution and the assumption when i am using vaapi (deint/resize) it will leads to to skipping because of too slow n3150 cpu/gpu. Maybe also my video output 1080i could lead to the skipping. but wait, when i switched to 720p50 i have the very same skipping also. i am hoping the rework of the renderer will remove my skipping. i will report then.

HI fritsch,
I am new to this kodi stuff and confused with all the different builds and version. I tried the official latest build but some of the scenes i am getting like oil painted especially on skin tones, it seems like i am not using the right build.
I have a two nuc's nuc6isyh and nuc5cpyh, Can you please advice me which builds and versions are best for those nuc's.
Thanks

No idea what latest is. Check the sticky Milhouse thread - those have all the code.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hello,
About two months ago I set up an N3700 (Asrock SoC board) kodi system. Installed Ubuntu 15.10 Server and Kodi as per your instructions. Everything worked well. However, recently, I noticed that files with AAC 2 channel audio failed to sound properly. All is fine with 5.1 files. I hook up to a little receiver through SPDIF. Just to clarify, they all used to play perfectly.
I remember reading something like the latest Kodi 17 nightly upgraded to ffmpeg 3. Could that be the reason?
I searched the forum and I found similar problems but none relate to Kodi 17. I'm not sure if I am providing enough details.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: just a note on how they don't sound properly. It's as if the sound is a little "mute." With no understandable dialogues. It's as if the center speaker doesn't work. If I get the sound through HDMI on my TV, it's all ok.

AAC 2 channel audio has no center channel.

Well, I don't know how to explain this. The thing is, they used to sound properly but now they don't.

15.04 is not supported anymore by Cannonical. Backup your stuff and do the howto from scratch?
Also the upcoming nightly should have a very good working version again. See the hint in the first post about fernetmenta master vs xbmc-nightly master.
