Has to be a comparable box in UK; I'd ask in the Chromebox thread as we're getting off-topic.

It seems Kodi is more unforgiving of certain rips, especially in ISO. Say this because when I made a MVC MKV of that previous '300' 3D ISO (mounted it, and used MakeMKV), the 3D MKV plays well, w/o stutters. Same thing as ISO, not.
HiMedia Q5 seems very reliable, even with less than perfect rips, in playing them smoothly, especially with latest 3.0.2 firmware.

The issue is Not Kodi, your ISO movies have some certain errors while the playback change to one m2ts to another m2ts..
Ive tried just now Finding Nemo 3D playing in 2D in Zidoo internal player
Mede8er - Issue in playback at 1h26m15s (frames skipping) but the player manage to continue the playback
Zidoo internal player - Issue in playback (frames skipping) at 1h26m15s but the player manage to continue the playback, until it freeze at 1h33m08s
Kodi- stop playback at 1h26m15s
Ive Remux the ISO (main movie only) and Kodi manage to play 3D in 2D without issues at 1h26m15s.
My conclusion: Kodi are more prone to fail due some errors in ISOs

Again, some of the ISO's that don't play well on Pi2, play perfectly via HiMedia Q5. And, most of my ISO's played fine via non-Kodi M8R 600X3D when I had one.

Sorry but I have to say this before this tread are worthless for the people that have a interest of the Himedia H8 and the Zidoo X6 and not any other solution that have your interest.

Sorry Boss. I never intended it to be that way. I was not the only one either as others were recommending and it is rude not to reply!
I seek your permission to reply here in the future now I have ordered a Zidoo X6. Is that ok please?
