I would not be loving the switch with those problems 
No Kodi Krypton version will fix your issue - its an Android Firmware problem.
Android Kodi Krypton = Mediacodec only video hardware acceleration = Android Firmware patches needed for Kodi dynamic refresh switching
(only companies I know of - MINIX and WeTek have the required AMLogic Marshmallow Android Firmware patches)
Android Kodi Jarvis (SPMC) = Amcodec video hardware acceleration still available (on some platforms) = Kodi dynamic refresh switching still works, but even that can have problems. (black screens when skipping about video)
One solution: run LibreELEC Kodi Krypton from a Samsung EVO or Sandisk Class 10 U1 microSDHC card in a Dual boot setup. Amcodec hardware acceleration is still used for LibreELEC Kodi Krypton. Its far superior.
@ep0ch,
Android Kodi Krypton has poor, and usually broken deinterlacing when used with Mediacodec only video hardware acceleration. Some boxes do not even have Amcodec hardware acceleration available anymore in Android.
For those that still do - use Amcodec acceleration with SPMC (Kodi Jarvis) or use the superior LibreELEC Kodi Krypton where everything (non HDR) works.
Simply - if users want a reliable (non HDR) Kodi Krypton setup with minimal problems they need to be using LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - it's at least one Kodi codebase generation ahead of where AMLogic Android Kodi Krypton is at the moment.
