v17 Fire TV - media failing to play with hardware acceleration on
#1
New install of Kodi 17.6 on a Fire TV.

Some files (which play fine on VLC on a computer) just give a black screen and no audio.  VLC says their codec is H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1), and the audio codec is MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a).

The log is on https://paste.kodi.tv/opayufabis - it gets into a loop of

"ERROR: CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec:Big Grinecode ExceptionCheck
ERROR: CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::GetOutputPicture ExceptionCheck; dequeueOutputBuffer"

If I turn off Hardware Acceleration in playback settings then they seem to work - but then all my other media is jerky and choppy.  Is this a common issue?
