With "Sync Playback to display" it looks like a lot less frames are being dropped.

This is what FernetMenta and I use - so it's no wonder that it works - never the less I forwarded your issue and starting next week I will have time again to look into kodi stuff.

It does not work on both of my systems. I have passthrough disabled and sync playback to display enabled.

Your problem is different. If I would not know better I'd say the hardware is too slow to play that file. Make fully sure, that you disabled HQ scalers, e.g. you forced bilinear for that file. If possible upload a sample somewhere. Really looks like a bad demux or something. Only this release group is affected?
