Kodi Log
Here are the MediaInfo Logs of 4 films:
Log2
Log4
Log3
Log1
Thanks
Those appear to be HEVC 10 bit encodes, with one also HDR. Need a Kodi debug log but you could try changing the render method.

Most vs... 'some'.

You have a lot of media render errors, using less tolerant players you may have success using
External players (wiki) the Mediainfo log will not disclose corrupted files, just reads the file header.

I have 80 films.
4 of these films only play scrambled video - but play fine with VLC player and on the laptop.
1 File, the one with the error in the log is corrupted (VLC won't play).
The other 75 play fine.
I've never had a problem with Kodi playing videos on Kodi, except for these scrambled ones.

Sometimes re-encoding will fix those pesky errors, try
Handbrake and see if it will handle them.
