In the meantime, i managed to solve it. I disabled pulse audio globally, so i can use alsa instead and now it works as expected.

Thanks for your help.

See - this howto does not install pulse at all.

Hi fritsch!

Need your help : in my kodi machine the videos are jerky Sad

Sad

I don't know why, I think it's all configured properly!

my htpc is this : ZBOX CI323 nano , It is connected to my synto (only at 1080p) and by synto goes to tv (it is a 4K Samunsg)
know that I can't see videos in 4 k but at least I would like to see movies in 1080 p so perfect

I installed ubuntu 17.10 minimal and do turn kodi (the latest version, but also with old I have the same situation) with this systemd script :

Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - Rumpelstiltskin - 2018-03-10

?? How?

RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - wsnipex - 2018-03-10

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel

RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - FernetMenta - 2018-03-10

you have to froce the driver in xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
EndSection

RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - Rumpelstiltskin - 2018-03-10

Thanks but i don't have xorg.conf :

fatez@BlackBox:~$ sudo locate xorg.conf

I see what's happening. If you turn off passthrough audio, video gets smooth right?

First, running kodi-x11 without a window manager is not a supported environment. It may work but I have seen a lot of trouble with it.
This issue can be related to running without a wm. Before going any further, I suggest to fix the basics.

I run it :

So i dont have a wm
