Currently, I have a FireStick 4K with PlexKodiConnect, playing a video with acceleration works fine. In contrast, IPTV in FHD quality only works for a few seconds and Kodi blocks.
Using a TVHeadend server, and the TVHE PVR client, I get beautiful deinterlaced playback for about 5-10 seconds, then the players locks up until a reboot.
The positive news is using the 'dream Player TV' app, which is just a TVHeadend client...1080 interlaced h264 content is playing perfectly now on the fire stick 4K, it definitely wasn't before as I checked when I first got the device.
Im using the 18.2 RC, Im happy to provide logs etc if they can be of use to anyone.
When I disable hardware acceleration, videos from PlexKodiConnect do not work smoothly, IPTV starts to work.
Now every time I turn on or off hardware acceleration depending on what I'm watching.
