When I use my Android Smart TV Box (one of the cheap amazon boxes)
I have my movie files on my computer and am accessing them through my network.
When I use Kodi on 1080 files, they are playing stuttery.
When I use VLC on the same files they are fine.
The box can handle the movie playback. (shown with VLC)
Kodi has the issue.
I have alternated between HW and SW acceleration with no success.
Suggestions?

The last time I posted a Debug log, my post was instantly thrown into a spam folder for running adons. I don't run any adons, I don't do any streaming.
So I thought I would ask the question before that happened, since I am hoping it is a generic answer that might be something that you folks deal with all the time.

If I uninstall this version of Kodi, will I lose all of my stored movie posters etc? we have our entire media library backed up and running off of our home network (like 1000 of my DVDs). SO when I loaded it for the first time it took hours to go through and not only scan each file for the movie info, but manually change each one that it couldn't find. I then had to do it AGAIN for the other media box in the bedroom. Am I going to have to do that all over again?

Go into the Kodi
file manager (wiki) and add a source with the URL
special://home
Then enter this location. Inside should be a folder called "addons". Select it and bring up the context menu (menu button or long-press-select) and select delete. Then quit Kodi and open it back up.
That will preserve your local user library while resetting all add-ons back to default.
