Can you ssh in and run "tvservice -s" when playing the video and when switching to 1920x1080 from GUI?
It's quite likely the refresh rate (or other settings) is different in the two cases.

When playing a video in 1920x1080:
"state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (31) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 50.00Hz, progressive"

When in GUI:
"state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (4) RGB lim 16:9], 1280x720 @ 59.94Hz, progressive"

When changing from 59,94Hz to 50:
"state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (19) RGB lim 16:9], 1280x720 @ 50.00Hz, progressive"

Chainging to 1920x1080 (59,94Hz):
"state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 59.94Hz, progressive"

I tried to change to an resolution that is less, the same happens.
Skin is Estuary.

I found the problem and the solution:

I am using an AV-receiver ( Pioneer V-923 ) and the time to change from one resolution to another will take about 23 sec.
So I connected the rasp direct to the TV and changed the resolution, under 5 seconds I get an screen and check the box.

Orignal connected works fine.

WiFi or Wired? What results do you get with iperf and latest test build?

It is WIFI, it only seems to be on internet connections local network is fine! I will try iperf.
Thanks bmonster.

Can you post autostart.sh please!?

I did mine with hdparm, and used the autostart.sh file to have it trigger every boot.
Got mine set for 10mins, and works fine.

arm_freq=600 in config.txt will disable turbo_mode, but I'll be a little surprised if that is your issue.
If 0801 is fine and 0809 is bad then can you identify the first build with the issue?

0802b is fine, no freezes, no KODI reboots. Unfortunately no luck with later builds,

Re-tested playing the section of file via NFS mount on a B+ with #819 (bypassing pvr.mythtv) over wired ethernet.

* mplayer on my core2 PC switches aspect just before the end of the blue 'southern colour production' screen
* OMX and MMAL players fail to switch aspect during normal playback
* OMX and MMAL players fail to switch with jump across the break
* OMX and MMAL players seem to switch into the correct mode if you jump within a 16:9 or 4:3 section

Test File 3 extract on Google Drive
Re-tested playing the section of file via NFS mount on a B+ with #819 (bypassing pvr.mythtv) over wired ethernet.

* mplayer on my core2 PC switches aspect between the 'unforgettable moments on drama' and 'allen mysteries' screens
* OMX and MMAL players switch aspect correctly when you play straight through
* OMX player 'pauses' when you jump across the aspect switch. Another small jump in the same section and playback starts again.
* MMAL player successfully jumps across the aspect switch in both directions and resumes playback in the correct aspect.
* OMX and MMAL players maintain the correct aspect and don't 'pause' playback if you jump within a 16:9 or 4:3 section
* MMAL player 'stutters' at the start of playback - OMX player doesn't.
I noticed an issue with DVB-S streams. Kodi doesn't seem to handle very well the situations when the signal is weak (due to bad weather for example). The most annoying issue is when the signal is temporarily lost - the video/audio freeze and it remain frozen even when the signal is good again, so I have to switch the channels back and forth to unfreeze it.

Milhouse is this similar to my issue I reported with PVR playback on x86_64 that started after 806?

Zero:
Juddery start, seems to be skipping frames, audio drops out occationally. Looks like buffering / throughput / interrupt issues.
Zero with OMX player turned back on:
Slight judder at start, then continues with smooth playback. Looking good then full 100% lock up. Can't even ssh into the zero. Wifi dongle light still flashing but green zero light on solid. suspect some sort of interrupt conflict between wifi usb / sd card read and video playback. I know pvr.mythtv can hit the sd card looking for icons during playback (??) so this might be why.
My wife (who uses this set-up more than I do) has reported regular 'lock ups'. Currently considered 'not good enough'.
Power cycled the zero and tried to reproduce, but playback remained smooth this time.
Digging into this a little more, it appears that playback is significantly affected by pvr.mythtv as using a local file (or nfs, still via wifi) is much improved on the zero although still using MMAL.
It does however still seem to miss the occasional frame (both on the zero and on the B model) and is therefore not quite as silky smooth as OMX player even when using a local file.
I conducted another test using a local file on the B model and it got slightly worse when I turned on debug logging (NB storage partition and therefore the log file is mounted via NFS) http://sprunge.us/BjDc
I'd be interested in your comments @popcornmix if you think this is 'normal' or not for Test File 2 on a B model using MMAL.

Wifi is undoubtedly more overhead than wired, so any unnecessary reading of files during playback by pvr.mythtv (which I suspect is occurring) will make things worse.
Something obviously isn't 100% safe in this high load wifi + pvr.mythtv environment (demonstrated by the lock up I saw), but as I can't get at the zero once kodi has locked up investigation will be difficult.

Probably if I can work out how to stop pvr.mythtv reading icon files unnecessarily during playback OMX player will be perfectly acceptable for my use case over wifi (once the aspect ratio / pause thing is sorted). I'm sure it shouldn't be doing this so maybe Janbar can help if I post on the pvr.mythv part of the forum....

Yes, sounds like the same (disabling passthrough would confirm it) - I replied in the x86_64 thread to give this issue a bit more visibility.

Wow! As easy as that.

I get a frame or 2 of garbage but other than that the problem files now play perfectly.

Thanks a lot!

disable omxplayer and leave only mmal enabled.. seems to resume well here like that..

I did mine with hdparm, and used the autostart.sh file to have it trigger every boot.
Got mine set for 10mins, and works fine.

This is what I have in the autostart.sh

Spindowns all 3 of my external drives after 10mins of inactivity.
Sleep command give the drives enough time to turn on, wouldn't work without this.

nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Copy and paste this and save, then reboot.

sleep 10 ;
hdparm -S 120 /dev/sda ;
hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdb ;
hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdc

If the problem started with 0803, then main change was the atempo commits.
With latest build, can you go into system/audio settings and try changing:
resample quality: Try gpu and medium
threshold for pitch correction: Try 0 (always enabled) and 100 (always disabled)

I've no idea why changing hdmi mode can take so long. No idea why it takes 5 seconds let alone 23 seconds (which is the slowest I've ever heard of).
My Panasonic takes about 2 seconds which still feels unnecessarily long to me. I also have an older JVC which takes about 5 seconds.
I wish TV (and projector) manufacturers would pay more attention to this.
