The "reference platform" for kodi (this is not the platform with the most users, but the platform our videoplayer lead developer chose as his primary feature platform) is Linux. Therefore if in doub try a "Milhouse v9 nightly build" via USB Stick. Here you can see what kodi's internal player does and what it does not.

dd: is a tool to dump some bytes from a file e.g.: dd if=myfancymovie.mkv of=sampleforfritsch.mkv bs=1M count=50
This would read 50 MB in 1MB chunks from the myfancymovie.mkv and dump it into sampleforfritsch.mkv
 To answer both your comment and "Warner306" regarding DSPlayer, I have actually reached the conclusion it's not the way to go due to several reasons: Too many configurations, not officially supported, and eventually doesn't give the required results after a lot of pain. Kodi v18 is the way to go for me. So you won't be hearing from me anymore about that. I've actually uninstalled Kodi DSPlayer.

Regarding "Milhouse v9 nightly build" via USB stick, where can I get it from?
About dd, I understand the tool, but does it come with Kodi v18 or is it 3rd party? and if so where can I download it from?

Thanks for your patience Smile
