So only get stutter associated with back to visualiszation, navigation of library to choose something is OK? Which viz addon are you using?
This could be related to a Python change that has caused a regression in the way in which lists from addons are displayed (making them slow). Would it be possible for you to test a patch build if I created one for you?
This is a guess really on my part, one of the player team may know better from the logs. But thanks for reporting clearly.

It's milkdrop 2.0. I'll change it and see what happens. Navigating in the library or back to the home menu is not causing any stuttering. I'll check out the patch give me a link and I'll test it for you.

I don't have any other vis options so I just turned it off. After a few minutes doing the same as before there was no issues. I then turned it back on and the same issues returned. I did notice that time that navigating with the direction pad gave the same problem in any library.

Running 17.0, I thought I had the same issue, but mine is apparently the opposite. If I start fullscreen visualizations, and then back out to the menu, the music stutters horribly, but will resume normal playback as soon as I move back to the FS visualization. It happens over and over like clockwork. Turning off visualizations resolves the issue, but only after restarting Kodi. It didn't do this at first, but began to occur over the last few days and I can't seem to figure out what caused it.

I'm using v17rc4 and it has mostly gone away. I only get some occasional stuttering from some of the direction pads. Which version are you using?

All I see is 17.0. Is there someplace that will show something more specific? Forgive me, I'm new to Kodi.

And I've checked other visualizations...as it switched them out, restarted, and then tested...repeatedly. Issue remains. Even switched from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen...same.

I'm not sure if it says on Kodi anywhere which 'rc' it is actually. I would just go to their website and get the latest version. I believe it is v17.1rc1 at the moment, and see if that fixes the issue.

That was my plan, actually...just wasnt sure if it was something I did. Also wasn't sure if the new version would revert my custom settings like teh 'special' xml in the roaming directory, etc.
I did find this in the log:
13:31:22.636 T:4068 INFO: ADDON: cpluff: 'An unreleased information object was encountered at address 038807D0 with reference count 1 when destroying the associated plug-in context. Not releasing the object.'
Will get the new ver and report back.

Turned out to be an issue with my video adapters. I'd been trying to remedy the sleep mode > 1024x768 on VGA thing. Had removed the VGA device. Replacing it fixed the issue entirely.

I would like to report on the latest version which is v17.5 and the issues remain exactly as described before but with less frequency. Although when it starts it continues until Kodi is stopped.
