I keep experiencing it without having done any update. Running latest stable Kodi 19.1 with latest YouTube.
It's dreadful and unpredictable. But it keeps happening.
It even happens when I deactivate DASH.

Nope. It looks like a lost cause.
I bit the bullet and went with an nvidia shield after every man and his dog recommended it. Audio is great thru it but I’m now in a pool of doo doo with video problems. Mismatched frame rates, rebooting after every hdr play, juddering, the whole thing is far worse than Firestick 4K ever was. Only bonus is that Netflix has Atmos out the standard app. Wish they sorted the DTS Firestick issue and I’d switch back.

I don't want to go with Mi box because my TV is actually a Mi QLED Tv with same internal specs and it's android interface lags as hell and I have to reboot the entire TV everytime I start playing something using kodi.

I was about to get the new google TV -chromecast thing yesterday, but then checked if it actually supports DTS passthrough, I am unable to find much info on that although one user on a forum states Dolby TrueHD to be working after a firmware update. I don't care much about TrueHD/Atmos/HD-MA because my old media system unfortunately don't support those codecs. But I have a large library of DTS 5.1 movies and it was sad to see them breaking it. Nvidia shield TV IMO is a bit expensive given all I need is a working DTS pass-thorough

Quote:H.264. Hardware accelerated up to 3840x2160p (4K) @ 60fps, 20 Mbps, High 10 Profile Level 5.2And today, I've confirmed that plex is able to direct play hi10p. Now, kodi could always direct play it but that was through falling back on software decode, resulting in dropped frames/stuttering making playback impossible. But plex is using the new hwdecode and plays smoothly, which I'm pretty sure was not the case a few months ago. Even emby, vlc, mx and the other players don't seem to have support for it yet. Is there something planned about that that I missed or should I make a post in feature requests or something?
