I'm on Krypton 17.1 and an Intel NUC running Windows 10x64.
In Windows itself in its media player and even in Mediaportal playback I get low cpu usage and instant response when seeking videos of 1920x1080.
But in kodi I get higher cpu usage and seconds sometimes on seeking after it's jumped to the point. I've tried the various combinations available in the video settings (auto detect / pixel shader / software, etc) and the option to use hardware acceleration. Each of these has some combination of high CPU, sometimes dropping frames, long pauses when seeking, skipping when fast forwarding.
Is there some way to fallback to the OS level decoders or otherwise change how kodi decodes video?
This is particularly bad for MPEG2 used when recording from TV.
