After upgrading my Kodi to ver. 18.1 - 18.5 on the Minix Neo U1 I have spent a huge amount of hours with solving the problems mentioned above. I have tried to change almost each of the options in the Kodi settings I could, but my tested videos still went out of sync with audio (older .avi) after 8 minutes, or the newer formats (.mpeg, .mkv) were more or less stuttering.
I have even changed the HDMI cable. Nothing helped.
Finally I have installed the latest aviable version of XBMC for the Minix (16.3) and voila - all of the problems dissapeared. All of the videos are playing smoothly regardless of the type of format and codec of the video. With default settings.
I have noticed one thing - unlike the Kodi 18, Minix XMBC provide videos with fps that are matching a played video. The Kodi 18 always provide videos with fps matching the Minix settings.
