[Solved] Video is lagging (only with HDMI) - Groooompf - 2020-03-14

Hi,

I've got Kodi 17.6 on my computer. This PC is connected to my TV with HDMI (on Nvidia GeForce GTX 970).
When I play movies, the video is lagging, it slows down for a few seconds, then come back to normal, then slow down again...This happens on my TV and on my PC screen at the same time.
When I unplug the HDMI connection, all is fine : the video on my PC screen is perfect.

When I use for example VLC to watch a movies on my TV (connected to my PC with HDMI), there is no problem : the video is fine on the TV and on the PC screen.
So it's a Kodi problem.

Could you help me ?

Yeah and that's the reason why some people in that forum get "rough" when they see after so many years yet another "but, but, but it compiled" debian version :-(
