To fix the stuttering for older SD contents in the standard Kodi build, you can also use the new decoderfilter.xml. Here you can set MPEG2 and MPEG4 MediaCodes to be used with HD content or higher.

Example on my Sony Bravia TV ([userdata]/decoderfilter.xml):

Code:


<decoderfilter>
    <filter>
        <name>OMX.MTK.VIDEO.DECODER.MPEG2</name>
        <allowed>true</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>true</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>true</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>
    <filter>
        <name>OMX.MTK.VIDEO.DECODER.MPEG4</name>
        <allowed>true</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>true</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>true</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>
    <filter>
        <name>OMX.google.mpeg2.decoder</name>
        <allowed>true</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>true</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>true</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>
    <filter>
        <name>OMX.google.mpeg4.decoder</name>
        <allowed>true</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>true</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>true</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>
</decoderfilter>


Note: Kodi also writes all available codecs on the device to this file if it exists. There you can check if you have set the right ones.
