hey hey,

windows 10 so helpfully did another update the other night and now about 3/4's of my videos have trouble playing, while the rest play fine. kodi 18.5 install that's been great up until now.  the videos play at about 1fps, with the audio playing normally for about 10 seconds then drops out, and i think syncs back up with the video and repeats.  all hd and sd content, no 4k.  i updated my amd drivers today but that didn't help. not sure where to start troubleshooting this, so any help is appreciated.

Hate it when updates to a downgrade. Might be an opportunity to restore system to an earlier time? Irregardless you are using 18.5 when newer is available, might want to install a fresh Portable mode (wiki) installation (Stick with the default skin) to see if your hardware will tolerate a basic plain jane Matrix and in so doing straighten out issues. Observation is a small percentage of your videos play well (so the player part of Kodi is up to snuff), you are using quite a few scripts that in-themselves should not be an issue, but combined that may have created irregularities. Specifically trakit, skinshortcuts, pseudotv

PS. Thanks for the debug log.

a few months later and it's solved, thanks to timebandit: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=364085

this was the fix: "Disabled DXVA2 and changed to SOFTWARE renderer instead of AUTO/DXVA. Now the video plays good as before with true fullscreen."

cheers

Thread marked solved.

That suggests a driver problem.   I would install 21H1 and the Aug Windows critical update (if you haven't) and check AMD for any driver update.
