I have a brand new S912 H96pro+ 3G/32G Android 6 box I've upgraded to Kodi 17.
Had the similar Dark or Low contrast video image problem...
So I followed the advice above and disabled both Mediacodec Surface, and Mediacodec.
Nothing happened until I restarted Kodi, then picture was fine.
at this point I have only restarted Kodi and not restarted the device....
so far so good..!

s905x and s912 dark video fix is as simple as running a small mp4 video at boot.
Copy it to system/etc
name is bootvideo (no extension)
do no forget to modify build.prop (system/etc)
either modify
service.bootvideo=0 to =1
or add it if missing (after build properties but before uboot lines)
service.bootvideo=1
