Hi all,
I'm using the beta 1 of Kodi 17. I encountered a rather weird phenomenon. Since upgrading Kodi, OSX somehow did not recognize Kodi's firewall settings. When starting Kodi, a popup appears asking whether it should allow or deny incoming connections. So far, so not weird. If I ignore this window and start a (HD) video, everything is normal, except this hovering popup. As soon as I manage to click on allow or deny (doesn't matter), the video runs in slow motion.
I thought, maybe this dialog throws Kodi of balance, so I fixed the firewall settings. Now the videos are always in slow motion.
Disabling VTB (or sth. like that) hardware acceleration in Kodi's video settings solves the problem. My problem is: I don't understand the problem. What has the firewall to do with video playback?
Configuration:
System: MacMini, 2009, latest OSX
Kodi: fresh install, no additional addons
Video library: on a network share
