Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi3, which os is the most stable for watching 1080p bluray iso/m2ts files, only to watch with great fluid and good sound in 5.1, I have a samsung 24p TV and a Onkyo 5.1 receiver.( I like to having the Pi3 and Kodi to do the encoding of the sound, Truehd and dts Hd master to LPCM 5.1.)
I now have Openelec (Kodi 15.2)and it works ok, I have tried libreelec and osmc, but didnt like them as much as the Openelec.
I only want an os that is : stable, good picture in 1080p, perfect sound LPCM 5.1 with no audio dropouts or other strange issues.
Wich one would you start with for this purpose?

Smooth 1080p on RPi3? That's a lot to ask. Perhaps the OS isn't the issue.
But LibreElec all the way. It's designed for Kodi, and very well optimised.

LE Milhouse nightly works great, but if you don't like Alpha/beta software then take an LE Krypton build. Either play my BluRay rips perfectly on a non-overclocked RPi2... 7.1 sound decoded by Kodi and sent to my Denon receiver.
Any recent builds of LE/OE/OSMC will look different if you're using Confluence in OE15.2 as they have newer skins. But they should all work better due to recent improvements.

I have librerelec on both of my pi3 here, both can play 1080p smoothly out of the box x, along with audio pass through too, just use the latest stable build
Server: Ubuntu Server 22TB HDD running SAMBA
Kodi: 4 Raspberry Pi 3 running Libreelec - on the main PC - running Linux Mint

bringing up a matter I have always wanted to know: How much load is on the raspberry Pi3 during 1080p 24hz in Kodi, CPU and GPU?
Has anyone looked at that, I always wanted to know

That will probably depend on the video's bitrate. So it will vary.
But plenty of videos make a RPi go to 95+ percent and the video will play fine.

how do you check? I will do it for sure but dont know how? The cpu I can do, if its the same as in windows, you press "O" during play, but how do you check GPU load?
